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.

The story is called Whales: Giants In Danger by Andre Admas.
Rudiy27

Answer:

The mechanisms used to produce sound vary from one family of cetaceans to another. Marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins, and porpoises, are much more dependent on sound for communication and sensation than are land mammals, because other senses are of limited effectiveness in water. Sight is less effective for marine mammals because of the particulate way in which the ocean scatters light. Smell is also limited, as molecules diffuse more slowly in water than in air, which makes smelling less effective. However, the speed of sound is roughly four times greater in water than in the atmosphere at sea level. As sea mammals are so dependent on hearing to communicate and feed, environmentalists and cetologists are concerned that they are being harmed by the increased ambient noise in the world's oceans caused by ships, sonar and marine seismic surveys.[2]
