Question

From the other sources, find synonyms of the following words used in the story. 2

(a) great (hero) (b) beautiful (woman)

the story is : Epics are long poems that relate the deeds of a great national hero or a great

national war. They often tell of a nation’s early history. They may be composed and

sung or recited for many years before they are actually written down.

The two famous Sanskrit epics are The Ramayana and The Mahabharata, and the

two great epics of European literature, written in ancient Greek, are The Iliad and

The Odyssey. Just as in Indian literature we go back to stories from The Ramayana

and the Mahabharata, so in the literature of western countries, they go back to The

Iliad and The Odyssey. Just as children all over India know the names of stories of

Ram and Sita, Yudhishthira and Arjuna and Draupadi, so children in western

countries know the names of Hector and Odysseus and Achilles and Helen of Troy,

the most beautiful woman in the world, because of whom the Greek and Trojans

fought for ten long years. Nobody knows for certain who the author of these early epics is. It is thought that

they arose and developed with the nation itself, and were handed down from singer

to singer till perhaps one great poet gave them their final form.

It is believed that The Iliad and The Odyssey were composed and recited by a blind

poet named Homer, who lived about 900 BCE and who wandered from one Greek

city or village to another, singing his poems to all who would receive him in their

homes and give him hospitality. This wandering singer has been honoured through

the ages, not only in Greece but in all Europe, as the Father of European Poetry.​
