Explanation:

(b) Epic is a genre of narrative defined by heroic or legendary adventures presented in a long format.[1][2] Originating in the form of epic poetry,[3][4] the genre also now applies to epic theatre, films, music, novels, stage play, television series, and video games.[4] Scholars argue that 'the epic' has long since become "disembedded" from its origins in oral poetry.[5]

(c) Epic style:

The speaker often refers to events, places, and characters outside the main narrative, giving the poems a feeling of great scope and comprehensiveness. ... Classical epic begins in medias res (in the middle of things), at a critical point in the action, rather than at the beginning of the story
