Answer:

- their oral nature(pre-written word)

- there is no completely accurate record of who Homer(or any epic author) really was

- the numerous storytellers who regaled audiences with the stories

Explanation:

An epic is a story told or narrated in a big way consisting of heroes, armies, gods, demi-gods and the forces of nature that are located over sweeping landscapes. An epic usually tells of the heroe' s journey and achievements and failures or woes on the journey.

Epics are oral tales or poems that were narrated orally through traditional methods which were handed down from one generation to the other before they started writing them down. Most epics are mytholical histories that talk about great figures from history and historical events. An example of a historical epic is the "Trojan War".

Oral epic traditions are passed down from one generation to another. As epics are passed on the language and story is refined or fine tuned to suit each generation.

The authors of epic poems like Homer who wrote "Illiad" and "Odyssey" have conflicting records and information of their lives and times. The accuracy of who they really were is often conflicting.

In two to three sentences, describe one advanced search strategy and how it is useful.
Blizzard [7]
Boolean searching:

Most searches will return too many or too few records. It takes a long time to look at hundreds of records. By putting a little effort into constructing search strings (what you type into the search box) you can save a lot of time. The database can do a lot of work for you if you take the trouble to add a little sophistication to your search strings.

To do this with databases you need to know about the Boolean system. By the use of a few simple linking words, called operators, you can make your searches much more precise.

Arlecino [84]

Answer: 1. Zoomorphism, 2. Anthropomorphism

Explanation:

Both sentences are similes, phrases that compare a concept to something similar, but each one compares the object differently.

1. Zoomorphism is the literary device where the author gives animal-like qualities to a human being, in this case, comparing the action of the man to what a bird of prey would do from a high perch.

2. Anthropomorphism is the literary device that attributes human qualities to an animal, plant, or object, in this case, comparing how shriveled the plants were to the people's misery.
