This PowerPoint starts with a definition of an epic poem.  It moves into the unique characteristics of an epic.  Finally, it describes the epic hero cycle with pictures from modern "epics" such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.  The pictures are there to gain the students' attention as well as a memory-trigger for later on.  I use this PowerPoint as part of an introduction / background information for Beowulf. [A wonderfu, very complete presentation on Epics - it is, in fact, epic in itself. JRS]
