Five epics of Tamil Literature

Silappatikaram - Ilango Adigal - Non religious work of 1st century CE
Manimegalai - Seethalai Sathanar - Buddhist religious work of 1st or 2nd century CE
Seevaga Sinthaamani - Tirutakkatevar - Jain religious work
Valayaapathi - Unknown Jain ascetic - Jain religious work of 9th century CE
Kundalakesi - Nagakoothanar (Nagasena) - Buddhist religious work of 5th century CE

I am not sure if any other language has it's literature have its own epics. I know countries have. You may share, if any.
