Norwegian scholars don't count that as an epic afaik, rather a dramatic poem, but it could definitely classify as such as well (if the Illiad and Oddyssey counts, for example).

if it is I'll give it a 10/10

Burgerland reporting in. I can think of a few possible epics:

(Would be higher if not for the sloppy second act of ATPH)

>Red Dead Redemption, 8/10
(Points retracted for not being literature, but it's one of the most American stories I can think of)

I was told the Scandinavian and the old English were much more similar than today. I read parts of Beowulf in original text and it seemed like an odd mix of English and Scandinavian. I was rather surprised I could understand so much of it.

My peoples' language only continues to exist in about a dozen known speakers. Our folklore is patchwork at this point, our bloodlines muddied, our way of life no longer existing as such -- reduced to the highly conception thesis work of pale folks in wide-rimmed glasses.

But Louise Erdrich's Ojibwe stuff is a solid 9/10. She's gonna do amazing stuff as she gets older.

My country doesn't really have a national epic. Song of Roland is too old and not studied enough in our schools, but it's the closest we had. Hugo's Legend of Centuries would be a good shot at a 10/10, but it's not cemented in popular consciousness as "le epic of our country".

Though I guess you could say the same for a lot of works mentioned itt. Still, is saddening.

Kambar's is better than Valmiki's and I think is the first proper epic, but it's medieval. Lots of poetry and even a grammar treatise were written before.

these aren't epics

a national epic is defined as a long poem with a narrative that is somehow connected to a nations values and ideals

honestly, it makes sense that America doesn't have one

Epic MUST have a character doing epic stuff. You know shooting an arrow through axes, spearing people trying to fuck your wife, stuff like that.

Finn is a kid having an adventure. To compare the two is simply idiotic.
