The EPIC CATALOG Tag – Coming Soon
To honor the lists that The Narrator, BLA, is so fond of, we have decided to start an “Epic Catalog” tag (or, “Catalogue,” for those of you with accents who can’t read American) that will showcase EPIC “lists” of eclectic topics (very on-brand for us).
We hope said lists will make you interested not only in the many characteristics of Epic Poetry but in our Epic Prose Poem work THE AUTOMATION (complete with other lists!).
Here’s to Buzzfeed and Epic Poetry for making lists a thing. All credit is due to you, not housewives.*
*all lists are subject to updates and expansion, as lists are wont to do.
** See also: A brief history of the To-do List.
[“BLA and GB Gabbler” (really just a pen name – singular) are the Editor and Narrator behind THE AUTOMATION, vol. 1 of the Circo del Herrero series. They are on facebook, twitter, tumblr, goodreads, and Vulcan’s shit list.]

This comes up a lot in our DIVINE household *cough, cough*
Once again, BLA and I are having a debate over who the better mythologist is: Bulfinch, Campbell, Ovid, etc. (BLA keeps saying “ME!”)

Tell us your favorite mythologist below!
Some other MYTHOLOGISTS include:
J.R. Tolkien
Dante
C.S. Lewis
Edith Hamilton
Roger Lancelyn Green
Homer
John Milton
Virgil
Today we celebrate the birth of John Milton…
May his legacy be as EPIC as his poetry.
“The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels & God, and at liberty when of Devils & Hell, is because he was a true Poet and of the Devil’s party without knowing it.” – William Blake
And – gods above! – we like to party too.
