They are the same because epic poems have heroes and fables are mostly about animals: they're different because it talks about important people in life and myths is part of fables because some aren't true and some are. :)
The Ramayana and The Mahabharatha were two epic poems from the Indus Civilization. Both are family stories which fire-test relationships of family and friendship against the background of dire social necessities. Both are held as sacred holy books by the Hindus. They were evolved at a time when the present day India-Bharatham, Ceylon-Rathnadweepam, Nepal-Nepaalam, Afganistan-Apaghanasdhaanam, Burma-Brahmadesam and Siam-Syaamaraajyam shared the same civilization.
Whitman was inspired in part by his travels through the American frontier and by his admiration for Ralph Waldo Emerson.
In poems, irregular stanzas are usually those with different amounts of lines in each stanza. Whereas, regular stanzas are those with the same amounts of lines in each stanza. this usually gives the poem a song-like quality.

A mock epic or mock pastoral poem are not necessarily the same thing, though they could be. In a broad sense, the mock epic is a poem that satirizes epic poetry's form and style of the classical era. This was a popular technique in the neo-classical era (the 18th century) commonly seen in the works of Alexander Pope or Jonathan Swift, among others. These poets would use the "heroic couplet" in their poems, much like in the classic epic works of Virgil or Joyce. The heroic couplet simply means following an AA rhyme scheme with each two lines, and usually concluding with the heroic triplet. Another technique of the mock epic was to take a relatively minor situation, such as cutting one's hair or an impending rainstorm, and using grandiose language to exaggerate the importance of the event. The mock pastoral often utilizes many of these techniques, but a difference between the two is that the mock pastoral focuses more exclusively on a praise of nature and/or love rather than politics or any other topic, whereas the mock epic can focus on a range of issues. Pastoral poems were also frequent during the classical era as a means of expressing pleasure in life and nature, but during the 18th century poets like Dryden, Pope and Swift considered the revival of pastoralist poetry to be shallow and dishonest. Culture had changed significantly by then, and nature was no longer such a clean beautiful thing. Since these poets considered the main purpose of art to be educating their people on morals and truth, they concluded dishonest poetry was foolish, and irresponsible. The mock pastoral poems would also tend to take a situation in nature, and turn it on its head by bringing light to the often crude and disgusting atmosphere so prominent in the 18th century. This was a pretty legitimate technique, considering they were still about 100 years from soap, and people threw their chamber pots into the streets every night

No. Gilgamesh was originally composed in the Sumerian times and passed through the Babylonian and Assyrian before being lost until recently. The estimate is around 2000 B.C. Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, were written in the times of Ancient Greece. The estimate for them are in the 800-700 B.C. So the Epic of Gilgamesh is at least 1000 years older than Homer's epic poems.
A fable is a type of story. Aesop's fables are the fables invented by the famed fabalist Aesop.
The Wolf Among Us is BEFORE the Fables comics. They happen before issue 1 of Fables.
Aesop's Fables and the fables of Jean de La Fontaine are not the same person; they are distinct figures from different historical periods. Aesop is believed to have been a Greek storyteller who lived around the 6th century BCE, while La Fontaine was a French poet who lived in the 17th century. La Fontaine's fables drew inspiration from Aesop's works, adapting them into a French literary context. Both are renowned for their moral lessons conveyed through animal characters, but they belong to different cultures and time periods.
Generally no, Epic poetry is written in what is called often "epic format". This is intended for verbal rhyme, as the ending sound in many will coincide with one another. It is also when the stressed part of a word is the same sound as another. For example, "Sixty Stressed Snakes Sneaking about the cavernS Soiled Sub-terrain." That is what the original styles of epic poetry often used, but that is not to say Epic Poems today are not free-verse. There are many Epic Poems in any plethora of styles, so for today's standard, and Epic Poem is a poem of great length, often having a heroic style of story (main character, issue for character, losing battle, heroic comeback, final victory being purely positive or a total tragedy.) If you are attempting to make an epic poem, I would suggest switching between total free-verse and a simpler rhyme scheme (1-2-1-2-1-1-1 works nicely). This helps because your gritty details can shine, but clever puns to speed through a situation can also prevail.

The study of fables is called Aesopica. It involves analyzing the themes, motifs, and moral lessons found in fables, as well as studying the cultural and historical contexts in which they were created.
A ballad is any light, simple song, esp. one of sentimental or romantic character, having two or more stanzas all sung to the same melody. A poem is a composition in verse, esp. one that is characterized by a highly developed artistic form and by the use of heightened language and rhythm to express an intensely imaginative interpretation of the subject.
No, the Torah is the central religious text of Judaism, consisting of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, while the Epic of Gilgamesh is an ancient Mesopotamian epic poem from Sumeria that predates the Torah. They are distinct works with different cultural and religious contexts.
