EPIC POEMS

Author's Comments

Epics deal with the traditions, mythical or historical events
of a nation. Essentially, an epic is a long narrative poem
celebrating the adventures and achievements of a hero.
In Modern use, the term, “epic” is generally applied to all lengthy
works on matters of great importance. Now, why do I say Modern!
This is to distinguish it from the tradition style in which
Epics were written. Of course, the description remains the same.
The Traditional Epic uses heroic quatrain or heroic verse
and rhyme scheme abab, composed in iambic pentameter verse
in English, Hexameter in Greek and Latin Otava rima.
