Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Epic poems were very commonly written during the ancient Greek times. The structure/format of an epic was usually that of a very length poem that narrates the story of a certain hero. These writings use extremely flowery language and contain numerous tiny details to the point that it is almost unnecessary. However long they are, though, they truly represent the romantic of view of art and the lionization of heroes/demigods that Greeks had.

The only choice that matches is A.

Hope this helps!
