Definition of epic
An Epic is a story/poem usually talking about a hero and his great accomplishments.
3 characteristics
Frequent use of epithets: “The Greek warlord- and godlike Achilles” (line 200)
The gods and lesser divinities play an active role in the outcome of actions: “Athena came sent by the white armed goddess.
Use of patronymics (calling son by fathers name): “Daughter of Zeus” (line 212)
The reason I choose this picture was because it has a lot of characteristics, and what makes an epic is different types of characteristics and use of strong words, and heroic accomplishments.
