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.

Can video games be addictive? A recent study by Iowa State University concluded that 1 in 12 American children between the ages of 8 and 18 are addicted to video games. This figures show “gaming” as an addictive pathology, the same way that people are addicted to drugs or gambling. "Pathological gamers" spend more than 24 hours a week playing video games, which is twice the amount of time spent by most players. Researchers are concerned that the United Sates may be following in the footsteps of South Korea. South Korea has more than one hundred clinics to treat video-game addiction. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than two hours a day of "screen time." this includes television, movies and the internet.
