  3. Story of a great war between two related families: the Pandavas and the Kurus; • Includes a long “sermon” by Krishna (avatar of Vishnu), which is considered one of the holy books of Hinduism; • Many moral lessons about doing your duty to caste and society (dharma) and what happens when they conflict. • Plots, sub-plots, and sub-sub plots...like Gilgamesh, the Bible and Star Wars wrapped in one
