epic :)

An Epic is a really long poem that describes a hero and his/her achievements. It 's something heroic and is a big deal.

Some examples that I considered epic was( lines 53-56) when Apollo listens to his priest Cyryses prayers and takes actions & attacks the camp. I thought it showed he was helping Chryses,
and another example was when Achilles stands up and talks back to Agamemnon, because no one else would stand up to him. (lines 159-181!)
My last example is on lines 335-338...when Agamemnon says that hes going to take Achilles girl, but(lines 366)Achilles prays to his mother Thetis and ask for help,I think that it was good to ask for help instead of thinking that he can do everything himself.
