Structures of Epic Poetry is written by Christiane Reitz and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3110492598 (ISBN 10) and 9783110492590 (ISBN 13).
This compendium (4 vols.) studies the continuity, flexibility, and variation of structural elements in epic narratives. It provides an overview of the structural patterns of epic poetry by means of a standardized, stringent terminology. Both diachronic developments and changes within individual epics are scrutinized in order to provide a comprehensive structural approach and a key to intra- and intertextual characteristics of ancient epic poetry.
