ESSAY ON: The Great Companions of Ancient Epics

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: This 5 page report discusses the dramatic texture that exists in ancient literature and is presented by comparing the convention of the idea of a “best buddy” for the story’s hero. For example, such a character is not part of Beowulf but is featured in The Song of Roland. The role of the “buddy” generally allows for a measure and comparison of the primary character. It is also seen in the experiences of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, Achilles and Patrocolus. but in Chaucer, the agenda of story-telling clearly shifts. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
