this could have been an elegiac poem. this could have been an epigram. this could have been an atellan farce. this could have been an agricultural manual. this could have been a neoplatonist treatise. this could have been a red figure vase. this could have been an epistolary collection. this could have been a lyric poem. this could have been a legal defence speech. this could have been an idyll. this could have been seneca’s apocolocyntosis

my main metric for judging adaptations of ancient epic poetry (and it is specific to epic poetry and not just ‘greek myth’) is ‘does the adapter/adaptation have a coherent take on what epic is as a genre’. they don’t have to agree with my takes on the genre of epic! but the bare minimum for me is a) acknowledging that they are adapting a work in a specific genre and b) having an actual approach on how to do that
