Epics do not have to be written, they are usually of significant length with numerous settings, have many characters and cover a long span of time:

1. the hero is of imposing stature, of national or international importance, and of great historical or legendary significance

2. the setting is vast, covering many nations, the worlds or the universe

3. the action consists of deeds of great valor or requiring superhuman courage

4. supernatural forces–gods, angels, demons–interest themselves in the action

5. a style of sustained elevation is used

6. the poet retains a measure of objectivity
