The song he composed would be a song of praise for the creator. In this fugue state, he learned how to compose a song. While he slumbered that night, he was visited in a dream. He went to lay down with the animals to actually get away from it. In Northumberland, a monk with no knowledge whatsoever of the song heard the others feasting, singing, and telling stories. Animals and nature were subjects of great importance and could be instilled with the same mythological lessons as Greek and Roman Literature. By the time the epic poetry of Homer arrives in the well-studied "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey," myths spread lessons, and even courtly love and chivalry come into their own.Īnd then there is the Literature of Africa, where the "call and response" elicited a reaction from those who listened, the griots added music and then they became songs. Military tales of Caesar were both history and promoting nationalism, Romantic episodes rose from their popularity and were interspersed. Roman and Greek Literature became the basis for all that followed in every square inch of the Earth.
So, the stories and culture were hidden upon these household items. As one faction took over another faction, the newly crowned "more powerful" one would destroy the history of the vanquished as a means of assimilation into theirs. In China and the early countries taking roots in modern Asia, stories were carved into ceramic bowls and containers.
Epic poems still had no rhyme and the entire purpose was to promote literacy in a Bronze Age civilization. When they developed cuneiform as a means to communicate, they chose to then write about the most important aspects of their life, namely religion and history. As the oral tradition passed ribald and adventurous tales from one tribe to another, one country to another, one continent to another, many stories transformed and absorbed the social changes within each group. However, much of this writing was to entertain and inform. Writers typically write out of necessity and compulsion.
