‘Epic Narrative’ …. ‘The Iliad and the Odyssey are primary examples of epic narrative, which in antiquity was a long narrative poem, in an elevated style, celebrating heroic achievement.’*

‘By the end of the 6^th century the epic tradition was a spent force until its revival in the Hellenistic period, and the few composers of epic narrative left little but their names.’**

ie from 2048G~512BCE to c[irca]2048R~256.
