    Easy for you to complain about ancient texts lacking in the epic prose department when YOU DON’T HAVE TO CHISEL SHIT INTO A FUCKING STONE.

      These tales were told through oral repetition and song for thousands of years before they were written down.

      Even the Sumerians say so, in the texts, that what is being told happened a very long time ago even for them.

      Bet lots got lost in translation there, between speech and cuneiform.
