Comparative Observations on the Near Eastern Epic Traditions
| Title: | Comparative Observations on the Near Eastern Epic Traditions |
| Author: | Sasson, Jack M. |
| Abstract: | "We must not doubt that stories were told and enjoyed long before humans learned how to transpose what the ear hears into what the eye sees. Whether brief or developed, transmitted verbatim or embellished, these tales were likely sung, chanted, intoned, or declaimed, with or without bodily accompaniments." |
