Excerpt from Mahabharata Condensed in English Verse
And if we look at the epic literature of other nations, we find much the same. The poem of the Nibelunge, such as we possess it, was composed and written down about a.d. 1200; but we see from the short ballads recording the fates of Sigurd and Brynhild, as preserved to us in the Edda, what the poems may have been like which were used as his materials by the unknown German Homer of the twelfth century.
Firdusi, the author of the Persian national epic, the Shah Nameh, Book of Kings, about a.d. 1000, tells us himself what sources he consulted, and how he travelled about from village to village to collect the materials for his great poem.
We see, therefore, that the constituent elements of the epic poems which we possess - the Iliad, the Odyssey, the Nibelunge, and the Shah Nameh - existed in oral tradition long before the invention of writing; that they were elaborated during what is called the Mnemonic Period of literature; and that they were reduced to their present form at a time when the art of alphabetic writing had been discovered, and had been applied, not only to inscriptions, but to poetry and other literary compositions when, in fact, there were not only a few sculptors to engrave oflicial documents, but a large public that could both read and write.
