Epic

Both girls and boys can be given the name Epic. An epic is a lengthy narrative poem that usually tells the tale of a hero; hence it can be used as a word name by those who enjoy literature and poetry. It has the aspect of the boys' Saga. Some of our most beloved stories are told in epic poetry, including 'Beowulf', 'Odyssey', 'Divine Comedy', and 'Paradise Lost'. 'Epic of Gilgamesh', which was written down in prehistoric Sumer during the Neo-Sumerian Empire, is the oldest epic known to exist. Gilgamesh, the ruler of Uruk, is profiled in the poem. Gilgamesh is a well-known historical figure, although as he is portrayed in the epic, he is primarily legendary or mythical. The ancient Indian 'Mahabharata', which has more than 200,000 verse lines, is the longest epic ever written. As a poetic reproduction of characters of a higher type, epic poetry is similar to tragedy in this regard. Epic poetry accepts only one type of meter and has a narrative structure, which sets it apart from other forms. Another way they are different is in how long they are. Tragedy tries to fit into, or barely surpass, one solar revolution, but epic action has no time restrictions. This brings us to our second point of distinction, even though tragedy and epic poetry initially enjoyed the same level of freedom. However, the meaning of Epic is 'impressive' in modern usage.
