Brief Definition
An epyllion poem is a poem that describes an epic or a story through the use of tone. An epyllion poem is generally short. It narrates with tones, styles, and setting. The tone of an epyllion poem tends to be elevated such as is the case with an elegy. Generally, the topic of an epyllion poem surrounds romance and adventure. This form of poetry was most common and most used around the third century, B.C.
There are few popular English examples of epyllion poetry. William Shakespeare's poem, "Rape of Lucrece" being one. An epyllion poem does not follow a specific meter or rhyme scheme. It has no set rules to follow. Any poem that is a short narrative of adventure and whimsy can be classified as an epyllion so long as the tone and style resemble that of an epic. A grand tale or adventure and valor or of heart throbbing, or heartbreaking romance.
Epyllion Poem Example
Motherland
Motherland (Eclogue)
In the country of my forefathers,
Economy is friendless and upset,
Politics are sleeping with labour,
Justice is seducing foreign crime,
Poetry is turned on, but it fears,
Traditions keeps history hostage,
Religions are attempting suicide,
Nature is busy biting its tongues,
Fruits are swearing at their trees,
Education shows God axis finger,
Seas gets shallow, graves deepen,
Life confront its first nightmares,
Death is satisfying its final desire,
Future is stinking nothing but lies,
