Synopsis

This book examines the origins and development of epic poetry, from the mythical to the literary forms. The author traces the evolution of the epic from its roots in ancient myths and legends, through its development in the classical Greek and Roman epics, the medieval chansons de geste, and the Renaissance literary epics. The book explores the common characteristics of epic poems, including their focus on heroic deeds, their use of supernatural elements, and their reflection of the values and beliefs of the cultures that produced them. The author also discusses the different ways in which epic poetry has been used to celebrate national identity, commemorate historical events, and explore moral and philosophical questions. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the history, forms, and themes of epic poetry, and offers insights into its enduring significance as a literary genre.
