What is an epic in literature? How are epics defined and what are some examples of epic poetry? Professor Tekla Bude answers these questions using examples from The Iliad, The Odyssey, and other examples of the genre.
The short video is designed to help high school and college English students to not only identify epics in literature but also to analyze their purposes and effects. The video is sponsored by the School of Writing, Literature, and Film at Oregon State University.
