An overview of the genre of "epic" poetry and its evolution from Homer to Milton, combined with a close analysis of the texts of perhaps six of the most well-known and studied examples: the "Iliad", the "Odyssey", the "Aeneid", "Orlando Furioso", "The Faerie Queene" and "Paradise Lost". It provides not only a context in which the works of the later English poets should be read, but also presents an individual analysis of these familiar works.
