Heroic accounts are stories of brave and daring deeds, often involving gods or heroes. Two common types of heroic accounts are SAGAS and EPICS. SAGAS are long, narrative poems or stories that usually involve a hero's journey and the struggles they face along the way. EPICS are similar to SAGAS but are typically longer and more complex in structure. Both SAGAS and EPICS have been used throughout history to tell stories of heroism and courage.
