Tamil literature written between 300 BCE and 300 CE is gathered under the umbrella of Sangam literature. The term "Sangam," which translates to "assembly" in Tamil, describes the literary assemblies and get-togethers that took place during this time. These were the first written works in the Dravidian language. Three Sangams (the Academy of Tamil poets) are said to have taken place in the ancient region of South India known as Muchchangam, according to Tamil legends. Gods and fabled sages are said to have attended the First Sangam, which is said to have taken place in Madurai.
