Namaste! I am ______ (your name) studying in class _______ (your class and sec). Today, I would like to share some information on Epic Poetry and Ode - the two popular types of poetry in English.
An epic poem is lengthy and narrative and is written in the form of verses. The word 'epic' is derived from the Greek word 'epos'. An epic poem recounts the glorious and superhuman deeds of characters or events in the past. It is written in a formal style and is rich in literature. Epic poems are mainly concerned with the future of a civilization and are used to transfer the tradition to the next generations. The epic of Gilgamesh, Mahabharata, Illiad and Odyssey, The Divine Comedy and The Paradise Lost are some of the famous epic poems.
While an ode is a lyric poem written in a formal tone in praise of something or someone. The word 'ode' is derived from the Greek word 'aeidein'. An ode is a lyrical poem written in the formal tone in praise of something or someone. There is no fixed pattern of stanzas in odes, however, these are highly structural and adhere to poetic forms. 'Ode to a Grecian Urn', 'Ode to a Nightingale', 'Ode on Solitude', 'Ode to Duty' and 'Ode on Melancholy' are some of the famous ode poems. Thank you.
