What is the definition of an Epic Poet?
360961
A long narrative poem telling of a hero's deeds is called an epic poem. I haven't read anything by Virgil, but Homer certainly does that, so he'd be the writer of an epic poem.\n\nI'm not sure if that makes him an epic poet, though..

A lyric poem is one that is or can be set to music. "A brief subjective poem strongly marked by imagination, melody, and emotion, and creating for a reader a singer, unified impression" is the textbook definition, though.  Are you talking about Blake's poem.  If so, I would call that a lyric poem.  (By the way, it's "lyric" poem, not "lyrical").

poetry is writing in an arrangement of words in verse; especially, a rhythmical composition, sometimes rhymes, expressing facts, ideas or emotions in a style more concentrated, imaginative, and powerful than that of ordinary speech: some poems are in metre while others are in free verse.\n\nProse will be similar to that of ordinary people`s speech. A group of words that will be in paragraph which will be based on some cnetral theme.

The skald was a member of a group of courtly poets, whose poetry is associated with the courts of Scandinavian and Icelandic leaders during the Viking age, who composed and performed renditions of aspects of what we now characterise as Old Norse poetry. They often acted, at the same time, as bard, councillor, and warrior.

First and foremost, do you mean how to create a grammatical construction known as an "epic simile" or how to write a simile on Homer? \n\nIn the latter case you need to emulate the rythm of the Homeric epic poems - the so-called "hexameter". It implies that you stress every third syllable, starting with the first one, so that whoever reads it will find him- or herself going "DI-da-da-DI-da-da-DI-da-da..."  Homer usually had about five or six such sequences (each DI-da-da being one sequence) per line and so should you if you want to write a simile. Secondly, Homer only ever wrote blank-verses. That is: while the rythm was stringent the end of the lines did not rhyme.\n\nIn contemporary English one example could be "FIRMly in HAND had he TAken the SWORD of his FAther. ENimies SAW him and REcoiled in PAnic and ANguish. HECtor, his ALly, took HEED from his PREsence and BELlowed: WHY have you COME to the FIGHT with such UNseemly LATEness?" And so on. If you use my text for your essay, please don't forget to un-capitalise the syllables... ;-)\n\nIf your question was simply about extended, or epic similes, well, these are similes which have been... er... extended. Simile evolves around the word "like" or "as" comparing one object with another. (And unlike metaphors which basically postulate that the two objects are identical.)\n\nEXTENDED (or epic) similes are similes which compare an object not just with another object but, at the same time, with a whole range of observations about this object. Here is a suitably Biblical example: "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." A basic simile would have been "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure". The fact that the text goes on and on to elaborate on this treasure makes it an extended simile.

an iambographer (if such a thing exists) would be a person or machine whom records or draws up meter and rythm as it applies to lyrics or poetry. \n\nThink: "Iambic meter" meets "lithographer" or "photographer"\n\nThis word is not in the Oxford or Websters dictionary but those are not as accurate or useful as they used to be.

"The Mahabharata" is longest epic poem in the world. Originally 24 thousand verses, it slowly grew to 100 thousand. It's a collection of narratives telling the story of King Bharata and his descendants. A great war takes place between two lines of Bharata's descendents, the Brothers of 100 and Brothers of 5. Both clans claim to be the rightful heir to the throne.\n\nThe epic was written by several authors, although the work is traditionally attributed to Vyasa.\n\n"The Bhagavad Gita," although an independent work, takes place in the context of "The Mahabharata." It is a religious-philosophical dialectic between Krishna (God) and Arjuna (one of the 5 Brothers) that takes place before the first battle.

Oral interpretation is the analysis and the performance of text (literature) which requires three necessary components: text, performer and audience.\nText includes the traditional concept of literature such as prose, poetry, and drama in epic, lyric or dramatic modes, as well as nontraditional concepts of literature such as letters, diaries, autobiography, interviews, oral history, personal narrative and conversation.
