Question

Do EPIC tales still exist today? Name some and explain how they are different from the ones of Homer's time.

Answer 1

Answer: Yes. Most of us ken the stories of Gilgamesh, Beowulf, and the Odyssey. But that's not quite accurate—there are stories from China and Japan and Australia that are far older. These stories, however, are infrequently edified to children. Many of us grew up with some familiarity of Greek Myths and Norse Mythology.
