Answer:
Tamil literature dates back almost 2,000 years. The history of Tamil literature is closely related to the history of Tamil Nadu. Jain and Buddhist monks also contributed to Tamil literature. The five great Tamil epics are Silappatikaram , Manimegalai, Civaka Cintamani, Kundalakesi and Valayapathi. Silappatikaram was written by Ilango Adigal, a Buddhist monk.
