The Epic


An epic is a poem about what a hero does.

Characteristics:
1. There are gods in this story
ex. Apollo sets Agamemnon and Achilles against each other.
2. A hero is more than a man
ex. Achilles is strong, swift, and godlike (line 129)
3. Fight over something important
ex. Agamemnon took Chryses daughter.

They were having a war at the woods. I think the the guy in the white shirt is a hero because he is fighting a lot of red jacket. They want freedom from the british soldiers.
