Epic poetry is a type of poetry that tells an epic story. The word "epic" comes from the Greek word epos, which means "story." An epic poem has many characters and a plot that spans many years.Epics are often written in olden times because they were very popular and were used as teaching tools for young people.

They were also meant to entertain people who wanted to learn about other cultures and places in history that were not as well known at the time.
