In Homer’s time, how did people share an epic poem?

English
1 answer:
Margaret [11]4 years ago
6 0
Epic poems were memorized and then presented to an audience orally. This was required since the vast majority of people during that time period were illiterate. It is theorized that the repetitive structure and recurring syllables present in the epics, were used by storytellers to aid in memorization.

Can anyone help me paraphrase these two lines from this poem
Murljashka [212]
Sure.

I'm a runaway slave. Dogs chase and bite me.
I'm sad and scared. Men with guns shoot at me.
I cut myself on the fence.
I trip on rocks and weeds.
Men on horses chase me.
They yell and hit me.

It is night. I am bleeding. They watch quietly.
I don't hurt anymore. It is ok.
White men take off their masks to watch.
Things are going dark as I die.

Analysis. Although the details of the story are there, the art, the poetry is lost.
Part of the beauty of poetry is leaving it to the reader to understand what the poet is saying without directly saying it.
The paraphrase is simply a story, but the poem is art.
