    Notes on Epic Poetry

    • 352 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Notes on Epic Poetry An epic or heroic poem falls into one of two patterns‚ both established by Homer: the structure (and allegory to life) may be either war or journey‚ and the hero may be on a quest (as Odysseus is) or pursuing conquest (as Achilles is). Features of legend building evident in epic include the following: 1. the hero’s near-invulnerability (Achilles’ heel‚ the spot on Seigfried’s back); 2. the hero’s fighting without conventional weapons (as in Beowulf’s wrestling Grendel); 3

    What Is Poetry? by John Stuart Mill It has often been asked‚ What Is Poetry? And many and various are the answers which have been returned. The vulgarest of all--one with which no person possessed of the faculties to which poetry addresses itself can ever have been satisfied--is that which confounds poetry with metrical composition; yet to this wretched mockery of a definition many have been led back by the failure of all their attempts to find any other that would distinguish what they have been
