People regularly enjoy reading (slight adaptations of) ancient Greek literature.
Some people enjoy literature that's even older, but those myths tend to be confusing due to a complete lack of similar reference frames and tropes that are unrecognizable to us.
That's about as far as I remember fiction being documented, but when told skillfully, "the story of when Graak singlehandedly killed a woolly rhino" might also be rather compelling.
I read (a rather patchy translation of) the Epic of Gilgamesh and found it pretty gripping.
