Are there any other good epics that take place before Christ?

Except he didn't. For him eternal life was being safe from the underworld, not some shitty recognition, shitty to say the least since he's nowhere near as well-known as Achilles.

That definitely ain't BC, though.

These

and a handful of other Greek and Roman ones are the only that I know are BC. Are there any others?

I thought you meant that the accounts regaled within the epic should take place before Christ because Firdawsi's epic begins BC.
