  • Gilgamesh, the first story ever written, basically follows that construction, more or less. 5 indenpendent adventures written down separately in Sumerian around 2100 BCE (from a likely centuries older oral tradition), then compiled in a single Old Babylonian story around 1800 BCE, rewritten over the next 600 years. We literally don’t have any written story older than that beside individual poems.
