I read 'The Iliad,' 'The Oddysey,' and 'Beowulf' when I was in high school. Followed by parts of 'Inferno' and 'Cantebury Tales.' In college when studying Japanese, I read 'The Tale of Genji.'

The long form of 'sagas,' whether in poetic or prose form, pull me in. What are some long-form myths and tales you enjoy?

I just bought a copy of the original Grimms and look forward to digging in. I believe a Saga usually follows one character or a family of one character, I could be wrong, though.
