SUGGESTION: More ANE Anthologies
I would like to see more Anthologies of Texts from the Ancient Near East like:
Jacobsen: The Harps That Once... Sumerian Poetry in Translation
Foster: Before the Muses: An Anthology of Akkadian Literature
I have Context of Scripture, and I know that there is a collection called Writings from the Ancient World, but I think that these would add to the texts.

I would like to bring these back up, as I often find references to them in resources. I thought I would also provide links:
The Harps that Once...: Sumerian Poetry in Translation
Before The Muses: An Anthology Of Akkadian Literature
I would also like to add this one, which is also often referenced:
Myths from Mesopotamia: Creation, the Flood, Gilgamesh, and Others (Oxford World's Classics)
I know that we have ANET and COS, but these texts offer new translations in some cases and are referenced in current works. I have them both in paper. If I have time later, I will go through and post the differences between these and the ANE anthologies already included in Logos.
