Greetings my friends steemians, for this occasion I bring you this post, which I will comment on, the epic playwright literature.
Thematic
What I want to address with these issues, is the fantastic, majestic of this type of literature, which lasts over time, to be characterized, by means of verses and poem, very heroic character, battles, marked by tragedy, and a love very much human, impressionist; so fantastic that all the readers who like this genre, their imagination recreates all that world of mystical warriors, of impossible loves and heroic feats of their own will, when you start reading you ask for more, to satisfy fantasy more and relate it to reality.
As it is understood by the word for many playwrights, 'epic', relation to word, history, poem; to narrate legendary events attributed to heroes character accompanied by tragedy and made of will.
In such a way that the writer expresses a tone with the sense of a grateful people, in the way of spreading it was through poetry chants, it does not need an order, the verse is better adapted, to give more life to the work itself. narrate and at the same time describe, including everything in a lyrical way trying to make it particular, that is why it has different typologies. In such a way, with the time it was maturing and it was born in a pleasant genre, the epic was called 'chant de gesta', and in it the divine and fantastic elements began to scarce, the most interesting example for me, that occurred in Spain, was the Cantar de Mío Cid, in the case of England who does not remember the exploits of Robin Hood and King Arthur.
Synopsis.
One of those authors is our great homer with the Iliad, who will not narrate with his poems, only one episode of it: that of the anger of Achilles, thus begins the great odyssey of Troy and its battles, tragedies, courage, explaining the keys aesthetics of the Iliad between Greeks and Trojans.
We have the case of the famous 300 Spartans against the Persians, so enter the battles of The Thermopylae against the invasion of the Persians, narrate the heroic story of three hundred, man who marched with his king Leonidas, to defend his nation, history epic narrated the deed of these men and their king, when in reality there were not three hundred but more, the question is that they had to die to unite the whole nation to fight against the invasion of the Persians, to make known another fighter, great general Teméstocles decided to face the Persian army in the Pass of Thermopylae, after considering it a strategic point. At that time, it was a narrow gorge between sea and mountain poetic songs lives for historical fact, on the other hand as forgetting the odyssey of gladiators, as: Spartacus was a human being born in Thrace, as many others during the Ancient Age, was turned into a slave. In his case, he was enslaved by the leaders of the Roman Empire and then sold to work in a gladiatorial school.
Continuing with more legendary epics, such as forgetting Alexander the Great, completely changed the political and cultural structure of the area by conquering the Achaemenid Empire, and the Greek cultural change, also a classic that struck in Asia, so much for its barbarism. that create fortress, walls in ancient China but, as ironic as the Chinese outnumbered it, but not in its intellect and tactics, it came to seize the Silk Road for a while and commerce with Arab world, there is much poems, songs that remain as well as his great number of descendants we are talking about 'Gengis Kan', and the one that can not miss another hero, Simón Bolívar a great liberator, military and Venezuelan politician, founder of Gran Colombia, one of the most outstanding figures of American emancipation against the Spanish Empire.
What I mean by this, more beautiful is the epic novel, which was given as a myth, from myth to history and from history to reality, which was what happened to all those great epic ancient works with their poems, they were a source of inspiration for another to make history, from that theme is immortalized, in legends of legendary mystic, with fascinating battles accompanied by drama and death.
Importance
I want to explain the importance of these great works, that the epic poem attempts to reactualize in the modern times of the Greek and Roman epics, its antecedents, to contextualize, and role plays, characterized by the presence of mythological or fantastic beings , the fictitious setting in a way that I do not know how to explain them to present many parts simultaneously, what causes is the irrational and whose metric illustrates an objective spatial and temporal fixation. That is why this type of genre, I mention to you that it is evident that poetry that imitates all kinds of things in such a way that reading is as in the representation can be seen.
I conclude with throughout the reflections on the literary genres so the support of feeding the soul and spirit that one wants to awaken through this medium of language, and the form of the typologies that try to organize the different manifestations of the narrative genre.
