Ettuthokai

Ettuthokai refers to one of the three primary collections of classical Tamil literature, specifically comprising eight anthologies of poetry that date back to the Sangam period (approximately 300 BCE to 300 CE). These anthologies contain tens of thousands of short poems, which explore themes like love, heroism, ethics, and daily life. Ettuthokai plays a crucial role in preserving early Tamil language, culture, and societal values, offering insights into the ancient Tamil civilization through its rich and diverse poetic expressions.
