2. Why are there so many repetitions in the Iliad
There are many repetitions in the Iliad because the epic grew out of an oral tradition. The bards travelled from place to place, singing the stories from memory, and repetitions made it easier to remember the phrases, lines and sections and keep the stories going. Besides, the bards “borrowed” ideas from each other and, in time, their verses became more and more alike.

Guided reading
The change of seasons is a common theme in art and poetry, and these two poems are about spring. While both poems deal with the topic in a descriptive rather than metaphorical manner, they approach it very differently: the former depicts a quiet, rainy spring night, whereas the latter describes a joyous spring day.
“Happy Rain on a Spring Night” was written by Du Fu (712 — 770) in the year 761. At the time, he was living in Jin’guancheng (present-day Chengdu). Rather than expressing the poet’s feelings, the focus of the poem is on describing a rainy night-time scene:
“With wind it steals in night; / Mute, it moistens each thing.” This poem has a soft and subtle quality: there are no people to be seen, only the rain, the dark clouds and the dim light from a lantern on a boat. With the last two lines comes a shift in light and colour: “Dawn sees saturated reds; / The town’s heavy with blooms.”
“Written in March” is a poem by William Wordsworth, one of the great English poets of the Romantic era. It was written in 1802 in the beautiful Lake District of north-west England. There is an almost childlike joy in this poem: the short lines provide a rapid stream of springtime imagery. Where other poets would have used more elegant language, Wordsworth instead employed brave simplicity to achieve a stunning effect. There are hardly any similes or metaphors in this poem. One exception is when Wordsworth compares the remaining snow to an army that has lost a battle and is retreating: “Like an army defeated / The snow hath retreated”.
