There are many definitions of what an epic poem is. However, all poets and academics agree that the Odyssey is one of the classic examples of epic poetry.
To be classed as an epic, a poem must be long. But how long?
often book length, but there's no set length for which a poem goes from non-epic to epic.
Does an epic need form?
No, but they are often in verse form. As long as they are a narrative. Think of epic poems as a way to pass on historical events, in an entertaining, oral, fashion.
Both the Illiad and the Odyssey are in dactylic hexameter, but this is not a requirement of epics. However, it is the usual form of Greek and Latin epic poetry.
Elements often included in epics:
superhuman deeds, heroic adventures. Illustrative language - remember the first audience for epics were listeners, rather than readers.
How have epics changed?
Lord Byron and Alexander Pope both wrote epics, but utilised them for comic effect. Twentieth century poets rekindled interest in the long form, but the work of (e.g.) Charles Olsen and Frank Standford is usually described as a 're-envisioning' of the epic style.
Atticus Finch is a model father created by Harper Lee in the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird. He is an important figure in the Maycomb, Alabama Community. He raises his children, Jean Louise Finch (Scout) and Jeremy Atticus Finch (Jem) with wide sets of morals, disciplines them, and is a true role model. Atticus allows his children to be individuals and does not try to change who they are. He teaches them fairness and equality among many different types of people in Maycomb. He is always teaching his children about how their actions may affect others, then, as a result, devices punishments to teach Scout and Jem valued life lessons. In many situations, Atticus can chastise his children, but he allows them mature and notice their own mistakes Atticus is a wise father and helps his children accept people no matter how they look or act. This is evident when he says “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.” (Lee 33). Throughout the novel, Jem and Scout mature at different paces. Atticus guides his children as they begin to grow and mature. “It ain’t right, Atticus,” said Jem.” “No son, It’s not right.” (Lee 243). When Atticus lost the case, Jem expressed how he felt. He had tears on his face. Here was a turning point for Jem because he was old enough to understand the case. Atticus comforted him and agreed it was not right. Atticus shows affection towards his children when they saved him from trouble with “the mob”. “As they passed under a streetlight, Atticus reached out and massaged Jem’s hair, his one gesture of affection.” (Lee 176). At first, Atticus may have been frustrated with his children being at the office. Then, their innocence saved him. Atticus has many characteristics and is a loving father. Atticus displays a valuable lesson about equality and fairness for his children. He is fair to many people in the community. To start off, Atticus accepted Walter Cunningham into his home. He did not judge the way Walter ate his food. He was an example to Scout when Walter poured the syrup all over everything. “Atticus shook his head at me.” (Lee 27). He knows that Walter’s family is not as fortunate as their family.Atticus hopes his children will "come to [him] for their answers instead of listening to the town" in chapter 9. He demonstrates that he wants his children to use him as a resource and hopes that he can set a good example for them.Though Atticus is often absent because of his law practice and his duties with the Alabama legislature, he sees to it that his children don't stray far from home.
our summer boundaries (within calling distance of Calpurnia) were Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose's house...and the Radley Place three doors to the south. We were never tempted to break them (chapter 1).
