    Can't recommend it or anything (I'm trying to find a copy myself), but "The Kingdom of Kush: Handbook of the Napatan-Meroitic Civilization" by László Török seems to be the best around...
    Google books has the first 100ish pages in its preview, otherwise I've seen it at an incredibly high price or unavailable :S

    敦盛: "人間五十年、化天のうちを比ぶれば、夢幻の如くなり"

    Hávamál: "Deyr fé, deyja frćndr, deyr sjálfr et sama; ek veit einn, at aldri deyr: dómr um dauđan hvern."

    Absit Omen: "As the breath becomes the fire; Gone are fibres, gone are thoughts ...but vapours in the pyre."

    Greek Tragedy's Utâna: "Fellow partisans, it is plain that one of us must be made king (whether by lot, or entrusted with the office by the choice of the Persians, or in some other way), but I shall not compete with you; I desire neither to rule nor to be ruled; but if I waive my claim to be king, I make this condition, that neither I nor any of my descendants shall be subject to any one of you."
