Can /lit/ recommend any good audiobook/youtube recordings of the great epic poems? I'd like to find great versions of Gilgamesh, Homer, Virgil, Beowulf etc, ideally performed (not just "read") by an excellent storyteller. I really want to get a feeling for what it might have been like to experience these stories the way the ancients would have: by a masterful storyteller.

I know that there's a reading of the Odyssey by Ian McKellan that's pretty comfy. I don't recall if he also did the Illiad.

The reading of Beowulf by Seamus Heaney (I think it's also on youtube though not sure) was also quite good.

Thanks, bro. Mckellen's version of the Odyssey is on youtube as well, quite comfy sounding. That's exactly was I was looking for.
