What does the thrush Tell bard
The writer uses the literary technique of "flashbacks" to reveal events that happened earlier in the story in "The Odyssey." Flashbacks are narrative devices that allow the author to interrupt the chronological flow of the story and provide background information or context for the reader.
In medieval British and Gaelic culture a storyteller or poet would have been called a "bard". The bard would have been supported by a patron, a nobleman or lord, and would have told stories that the patron wished to hear. Minstrel is also a name for medieval storytellers, who would tell stories through musical lyrics.

Bard, using the thrush's advice, shot his black arrow into the hollow of Smaug's chest, thus killing him.
