    Review: An epic is a long narrative poem on a serious subject, presented in an elevated


    or formal style, as though told to royalty. It tells the sweeping adventures of an epic hero,
    one whose nobility and great deeds embody the ideals of the culture or group whose oral
    tradition created the tale.
