My new quest

I was bored one day and on a whim typed "ancient literature" into my search engine of choice. What came up was an intriguing entry from Wikipedia--
a list of ancient text. So, being the nerd that I am, I started scanning through the list and came up with the idea of challenging myself to read the entire list AND then boring y'all with the incites I gleamed from learning more about the texts listed.

So my quest will begin with the Bronze Age. In particular the Summarian text, Instructions of Shuruppak and end with the Late Antiquity period of the 5th century (Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite: Celestial Hierarchy).

I have no idea where my reading will lead or what information I may find. Altho I do see another possible list to explore at a later time (early Medieval literature). I hope you will enjoy this adventure and would like to see y'all follow along in my readings.

I am going to do my best not to rely on Wikipedia, most likely the information listed will give me my basic outline. I will attempt to find as much original source material as possible, but do understand that this is a layman's attempt at learning from history. I know from past projects that many resources are not readily available, only bits and pieces (ie. Google books). Where possible I will link to whatever primary sources I may find and any other usual information that is available.

Enjoy!!
