Do we cite the Epic of Gilgamesh as a classic poem, an anthology, or a holy text (like the Bible)? And how do we cite the line breaks within the text? Thanks!

"And how do we cite the line breaks within the text? Thanks!" Here's Ivo's (Miano's TA) answer to this question from the discussion board. see http://www.atfreeforum.com/ucsdmmw/viewtopic.php?t=97&mforum=ucsdmmw "In a lot of our classic poem readings (e.g. Antigone) there will be (unfortunately) no line numbers (usually there are, but in these editions they don't have them). So, you can do two things: either just cite the page and have NO line number OR count the lines from the top of the page and write THAT as the line number in addition to the page. But it's perfectly fine if you do it the easy way, and have NO line numbers. We blame it on the editions. Smile"
