Question

a. its a long narrative work

b. it embodies the values of a culture

c. the story is written in either latin or greek but translated into english

d. the hero is presented as someone who can perform remarkable feats

Answer 1

Definitely c.

Beowulf is both a classic epic and the first piece of literature in English (although you can't read it without a sheaf of crib sheets).

The North Germanic languages are replete with epics. The Icelandic sagas alone fill a good-sized book.

Answer 2

c. is untrue. Epics are written in all the languages under the sun (even English)!
