Not bad, I guess you're actually right. I'm working from the Norton Anthology of World Literature which says the stories originated around 2000 but the epic took shape around 1600. So I will change it because 2000 is probably the better date to use.

I don't find it hard at all to say I'm wrong when I am. Do you ever say you're wrong?
