“epic” isn’t an adjective that means really big or great. It’s a technical literary term meaning “a long narrative poem about a hero who typifies the virtues of the culture.” The Odyssey is a long poem. It is comprised of 24 books containing over 12,00 lines. It is a narrative poem. It tells the story of the return of Odysseus to his home in Ithaca after 20 years of war and wandering. Odysseus is a hero. His struggle, bravery, and cunning are all admirable qualities valued by the ancient Hellenes.

So, The Odyssey is an epic poem because of the definition of “epic.”

"Epic" in poetry is different from "Epic" in pop culture, in poetry the word Epic means "long". So the answer is "yes" because The Odyssey is about the long journey the Odysseus goes through to get home. Hope this helps :)

How does Walt Whitman’s use of anaphora in this passage from “Song of Myself” emphasize the ideas he is expressing?
Ivenika [448]
Anaphora is a poetry term that means repetition at the beginning of a line. Whitman had written a long poem and some of the readers might feel bored reading it, so he used this device to give some energy to it. Since anaphora is repetition, it keeps on getting in the mind of the readers thus giving emphasis to the ideas he expresses.
