Explanation:

The excerpt that the question was based on is from Homer's epic narrative "The Odyssey", The very first paragraph of Book I.

He saw the townlands  and learned the minds of many distant men,  and weathered many bitter nights and days  in his deep heart at sea, while he fought only  to save his life, to bring his shipmates home.  But not by will nor valor could he save them,  for their own recklessness destroyed them all—  children and fools, they killed and feasted on  the cattle of Lord Helios, the Sun,  and he who moves all day through heaven  took from their eyes the dawn of their return.  Of these adventures, Muse, daughter of Zeus,  tell us in our time, lift the great song again.

This is an invocation to the Muse, asking him for inspiration and help in writing the epic tale of the hero Odysseus.

Epics are tales of heroes whose deeds far exceed that of normal actions, showing his bravery and courage in the face of any form of complications. Epic poetry also have an invocation to the muses for help in writing the stories of the heroes in such a way that their good deeds and bravery do not go unnoticed. Lastly, epic narratives/ poetry also details the difficulty of the trials of the hero and his companions through which he will emerge victorious and more respected.
