Question

Which epic characteristic is used in this excerpt from the Iliad by Homer?

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C) "starting in medias res". Starting in media res is a technique used to involve the reader  quickly since the begging of the story. This technique involves starting the story in the middle of the action when an important event takes place. By doing this, the reader would wonder what happened with the characters to be in that point before the story properly unfolds.
