The Epic

1. Epic is a stong heroic long poem

2. "Well Agamemnon, it looks as if we'd better give up and sail home-assuming any of us are left alive-if we gave to fight both the war and plague.But why not consult some prophet or priest or a dream interpreter, since dreams too came from Zeus, who could tell us why Apollo is so angry, If it's for a vow or a sacrifice he holds us at fault.Maybe he'd willing to lift this plague from us if he savored the smoke from lambs and prime goats." [Lines 67-75] Epic poems have long quotes

"And Achilles, strong, swift, and godlike" [Line 129] An Epic has strong descriptive words

"Daughter of Zeus" [Line 212] Epic poems don't say the daughter/sons name because instead they say the father/mothers name because they think its more important

This picture seems like they were fighting to get the daughter back.I chose this picture because this is probably the only epic poem i read and I think this is the only epic poem I know.
