William Shakespeare did not write traditional epic poems like those of Homer or Virgil, but he did create long narrative poems that exhibit epic qualities. His two major narrative poems, "Venus and Adonis" and "The Rape of Lucrece," explore themes of love, desire, and tragedy, showcasing his poetic prowess. While not epic in the classical sense, these works reflect his ability to engage with grand themes and storytelling.
