And the extraordinary level of strength that the characters possess, the extent of their might all contribute to it being an epic. In the given excerpt of the book of "Gilgamesh: A New English Version" by Stepghen Mitchell also employs the supernatural forces. The depiction of Lugalbanda as a god who will help in the achieving of a far greater triumph that no man had ever achieved clearly shows the feature of an epic poetry in the story.

In "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe, the quote “succumbed to the prostrating power of her destroyer” refers to Madeline's condition shortly after the narrator's arrival. It means that she could not resist against her illness any longer and has passed away.
