Heroic poetry is a type of literature that celebrates the deeds of heroes and heroines. It typically involves grand themes, such as battles, journeys, and quests. The two most common forms of heroic poetry are epos and epopee. Epos is a form of narrative poetry that is usually composed in hexameter and tells stories about gods, heroes, and legendary events. Epopee is a longer form of heroic poetry that often includes multiple episodes and characters. It is usually composed in dactylic hexameter and is used to tell stories about great heroes and their adventures.
