The Epic of Gilgamesh, Complete Academic Translation: Translated from cuneiform tablets in the British Museum literally into English hexameters (Forgotten Books) by R. Campbell Thompson
Almost unreadable unless you really dig in and study the words. Even then it is a struggle. I don't recommend this to the more casual reader. I appreciate the story and its importance. I did not enjoy it. So, I leave it unrated.

The Original Texts of this book are printed in Cuneiform. See Volume 1.

Volume 2 is an English translation with Notes, Vocabulary, Index, and an Introduction by R. Campbell Thompson (1900).

Significantly, this book covers signs and omens still affecting modern day Iraq.
