What is Understanding Epic Poetry: Key Features about?

An epic is a long narrative poem centered on a heroic figure, addressing serious subjects with a formal style, and its outcome impacts a tribe or nation. There are two main types: traditional epics, which are oral in origin, and literary epics, crafted by individual poets. Key features include a significant hero, vast settings, superhuman actions, and divine involvement, with conventions such as invoking a muse and starting in medias res.
