One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips.

Dark Moth Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) That's no epic. Epic poems usually begin in medias res, include action on a grand scale, have a central hero(s) with superhuman qualities, and involve the supernatural; such as monsters, gods, etc. Also epic poems usually contain literary inventories, flashbacks, and are written in a lofty, majestic style.

Cantousent Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Dolts. Am I wrong, friends? Am I wrong? Epic poetry. I've read a lot of it. It involves a book with a bunch of words written on it. It originally evolved from oral poetry, which means folks stood around in each others living rooms or around a fire and recited long lines of the stuff to each other.
