Epics are grand, long compositions about heroic men and women and include stories about gods.
The period from the 4th century CE to the 6th century CE is known for epic writings, which are long compositions about the stories of heroic men and women, including God. Before this, a famous Tamil epic was composed during the Sangam period, known as silappadikaram. This was composed by a poet called Elango Adigal around 1800 years ago. This Epic talks about the story of a Merchant known as Kovalan, and he fell in love with Madhavi, who was a courtesan.
