Gilgamesh doesn't hold its own as literature as well as some others in the genre, but it's still interesting to compare the different telling of the flood story and the hero's descent into the afterlife, as well as the Epic premise generally of the champion of men who contents with the gods as an almost-equal. The N.K. Sanders translation that I have, which is not the cover shown here, is a little dry in places, which seems like kind of a thing with Penguin Classics. The introduction also by N.K. Sanders is very interesting and helpful, though, I'd recommend it before reading the epic proper. I'd be interested to see what might be done with a verse literary translation, like Seamus Heaney's Beowulf.(less)

To pick one anecdote among many, an early settlement of Mormons was led by one Samuel Brannan. Having failed to convince Brigham Young to move the LDS church to San Francisco, "[h]e declined to recognize the authority of Brigham Young, although he continued for several years to collect tithes regularly from members of his flock... [n]one of this money was ever remitted to the Church at Salt Lake City, and when Brigham Young made formal demand for "the Lord's share,"... Brannan retorted that he would pay upon written order signed by the Lord, and not otherwise... Brigham Young several times dispatched his holy gunmen, better known as Destroyjng Angels... to collect the money by force."
Brannan, who also founded the first newspaper in San Francisco, was later tried by the first jury empaneled in the state of California, for misappropriation of funds collected from LDS members (acquitted).
