My definition of an Epic Poem...


Maybe an epic poem is the way that writers tell us not real events using heroes that are the main characters of the story. Heroes would be understood like the person who learn through the peom. This character is superpowerful and incredible but is not real so we can say that stories are fiction. At the end of the heroe's life he is better and he have learnt a los of thing leaving legacy.

I think that this is another exampl of using literature to teach people something. I really liked that you mentioned this, because I think that this Poems had a maon objevtive which was to give us a moral, to tell us how big can be a man or woman just because of his or her strengths.

Nice definition, especially when you say that epic poems are fiction. I agree with that, however I think that not all of them are fiction. Maybe these kind of poems play between the fiction and an exagerated reality.
