Correct Response: D. An epic is a long narrative poem that chronicles on a grand scale the adventures of a heroic figure, who is often a warrior. One of the best-known examples of the classical Greek epic is Homer's The Odyssey, which tells the story of Odysseus, a Greek soldier journeying back to his home after the Trojan War. Pindar's Olympian i (A) is a choral ode to a Sicilian ruler; it is a lyric, rather than a narrative, poem. Euripides' Medea (B) is a classical Greek tragedy, based on the myth of Jason and Medea. Sophocles' Antigone (C) is also a classical Greek tragedy.
