THE EPIC POETRY.

An epic or heroic poem is:

• A long narrative poem;
• On a serious subject;
• Written in a grand or elevated style;
• Centered on a larger-than-life hero.

Epics also tend to have the following characteristics:

• An opening in medias res;
• An invocation to the Muse;
• A concern with the fate of a nation or people;
• The intervention of supernatural figures, who are interested in the outcome of the action (the system of gods, demons, angels, and such is often called machinery);
• Extended similes, generally called epic similes;
• Long catalogues, whether of ships, characters, or places;
• Extensive battle scenes;
• A few stock episodes, including a visit to the underworld.

In media res:  It usually describes a narrative that begins, not at the beginning of a story, but somewhere in the middle — usually at some crucial point in the action.

Similes: An explicit comparison of two things, usually with the word "as" or "like." When you say "Reading D. H. Lawrence is like having teeth pulled."
