Why is the Mahabharat considered to be the longest epic of all time?
✅ เคเคค्เคคเคฐ / Answer
The Mahabharata is the longest epic with its astonishing 100,000+ verses (over 1.8 million words)—nearly ten times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined.
In addition to the main story of the Kurukshetra War, it includes philosophical discourses such as the Bhagavad Gita, lengthy genealogies, moral tales, and encyclopedias on cosmology, statecraft, and religion, making it a vast literary treasure.
Key Point: The Iliad and The Odyssey are two foundational epic poems of ancient Greek literature attributed to the poet Homer
