3.Homer Epithet
- A characteristic of Homer's style is the use of epithets. Epithets are used because of the constraints of the dactylic hexameter and because of the oral transmission of the poems; they are mnemonic aids to the singer and the audience alike. Epithets in epic poetry from various Indo-European traditions may be traced to a common tradition. Epithets alter the meaning of each noun to which they are attached. They specify the existential nature of a noun; for example, ''swift-footed Achilles'' or ''phoebus Apollo''.
