Epic Poetry
Readings of great seldom heard Epic Poems. These poems stem from a wonderful tradition of storytelling, of bards and skalds, and should be read aloud. Hear The Fall of Troy, the Volsunga saga, the story of Parzival, Paradise Lost, The Nibelungenlied, The Aeneid, the Lays of Ancient Rome and other great poems of mighty deeds, brave men, and gods.
