SANGAM LITERATURE:
As I told you in my earlier lesson there were three Sangams and the works belonging the First Sangam were lost in time and the loan work of the Second Sangam that survived the time is Tholkaappiyam.
Therefore when I mention Sangam Literature in this Lesson it refers to the work of the Third, last, Sangam.
They are mainly two. Ettu Thogai and Pathu Paattu. in othre words The Eight Anthologies and Ten Idylls.
As the name Ettu Thogai the Eight Anthologies are:
Narrinai, KurunThogai, Pathirru Pathu, Paripaadal,Ainkuru Nuuru,Kalithogai Aha Naanuuru, Pura Nanuuru

SANGAM LITERATURE
LESSON 2. SANGAM LITERATURE
Dear Reader in my Lesson 1 Tholkaappiyam I mentioned that there were three Tamil Snagams and all the works of the First Sanagm were extinct. The lone work of 2nd Tamil Sangam now available is Tholkaappiyam.
SANGAM LITERATURE
Now I am going to tell you about the works that were produced during the third Tamil Sangam which was operating in Vadamadurai the present Madurai under the patronage of the Pandian Kings.
The third Sangam is believed to be in existence between the first and third century AD
