first of all i am thankful to you from the core of my heart that you have given a great answer of the aforementioned topic. you have defined such beautifull almost all the characteristics of epic and mock epic. but some questions are yet unanswered. as per my point of view, subject matter, inspiration, slumber message from devine/supernatural, preparation for war, journey on water, single combat, general battle, feast, journey underground, participation of supernatural elements in war and moral lesson are the characteristics of epic/mock epic. you have discussed some of them but not all. will you discuss all. waiting for your reply.
