Description

Excerpt from On the Distinction Between the Art-Epic and the Folk-Epic, Vol. 8 But let us suppose the contrary case - that the mass of legendary material for the coming epic concerns a number of diverse peoples; that its various elements have been de veloped under widely difiering conditions, and even in dif ferent epochs; that there are fundamental discrepancies of situation or of story to be harmonized or eliminated, action to be newly motived, and all its scenes brought as it were into one focus and reduced to one scale; that all its life, of whatever original cast, is all to be made to assume the guise and setting of an already fabulous heroic age whose only examples are the Iliad and the Odyssey. In such a case the dominance of the individual and of his art will be greatly enhanced; - we shall everywhere feel the presence of the poet. Quite apart perhaps from what we now know of its origin, we might for this reason alone account the eeneid an Art-epic.
