In what way is the odyssey an epic? A) it had character that change from cowards to heroes in the course of the story. B) it is a series of short stories that have different heroes in each story. C) it's plot centers around heroes and monsters. D) it was written down before it was performed

Based off of the definition of epic, it states that an epic is a long poem that is typically passed by oral tradition, revolving around legends or heroes or a country's past.

With that definition, I would write down letter C because of the process of elimination:

A) Does not define an epic - nothing about character development

B) Does not define an epic - nothing about a series of short stories

D) Does not define an epic - oral tradition would mean that it is passed by spoken words, not written down
