The correct answer is B. Through oral storytelling

Step-by-step explanation:

The Epic is a type of long poem that tells the events and actions related to a hero or heroine as she or he struggles against powerful opposing forces. It is believed Epics originated in Ancient times and existed even before writing was created as they were part of oral traditions which means they were shared to others through oral storytelling. In the case of Ancient Greece Civilization, mainly recognized by the "Illiad" and the "Oddysey" which are two epic poems by Homer, these poems were written, but it is believed they were first shared through oral storytelling and then based on this, they were finally written, this can be explained as not everyone knew how to read and the most effective way of sharing epic poems was by memorizing them and as part of oral storytelling. Therefore, in Homer's time, people share an epic poem through oral storytelling.
