∙ 11y agoBallads are long poems that tell stories about heroes. Epics also do the same but they are far longer. Famous epics include The Odyssey and The Iliad by Homer. The Song of Roland, The Epic of Gilgamesh and Beowulf are others.
The prose version of an epic is often called a saga. Ballads and epics can be sung as songs.
The long Greek poem that tells of historical or legendary heroes is the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey," both attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer.
