2) Pertaining to a hero or something greater than life; majestic
3) In great size or mass
Examples of Epic in Iliad
- line 61..."For nine days the God's arrows rained death over the camp": This is a great example of epic because it show how a force that was greater than life (a god) rained death on an army and practically took them out over the course of just nine days. It was very heroic.
- line 33... "Prophet or evil, when have you ever said good things to me. You love to predict the worst!": This is an epic because they call him a prophet of evil referring to someone who reads dreams that the Gods have sent down. Something greater than life itself.
- line 90..."Take courage. State what your powers tell you... No violent hand will raise against you": This is an epic because he is being Heroic and telling the prophet to not be afraid, because he will protect him against Ammegetons rage.
This picture represents the word Epic perfectly. I think that this picture shows someone of higher power greater than this life heroically saving someone. I think that there must be someone who is able to show us love and steer our lives in ways that overrule destiny and fate. I would typically call it a super power... however the only supernatural God that has been revealed is Jesus Christ. Therefore I am showing a picture of him going against nature and saving this mans life.

Oh I love this connection between ancient heroes and modern day ones. You're right, though many of us dream of having 'superpowers' only Jesus actually had them.
