Themes of epic poems may change over time as different audiences interpret them. However, it is clear that we remember some epics only for their themes. For example, "Paradise Lost" is a critique of religion and political society, considering the Fall of humankind. Without these themes, the story within the narrative would not exist. Equally, the theme of war in "The Iliad", and themes of love, loss, hope for the future and xenia within "The Odyssey" and "The Aeneid" are all vital when considering the nature of the poem.
An important theme embodied in an epic is the hero's journey, which typically involves a protagonist overcoming challenges and obstacles to achieve greatness or fulfill a noble quest. This theme highlights the hero's growth, resilience, and eventual triumph in the face of adversity, showcasing universal values and inspiring audiences.
