"the oldest tale in western literature, attributed to Homer, the first author whose name is still remembered. There are older stories, perhaps including parts of the Bible, but they are anonymous, and their canonical form was not established until later."

So are we including Sin-leqi-unninni, author of the canonical form of Gilgamesh, or not? Because he's several centuries older than Homer, but I can't tell whether this paragraph is meant to refer to Near Eastern/world literature, or only Western literature.
