or the beginning of world history elegy is a formal lament for the death of a particular person.

An ode is a long lyric poem with a serious subject written in an elevated style.

Epics usually operate on a large scale, both in length and topic, such as the founding of a nation they tend to use an elevated style of language and supernatural beings take part in the action.

A ballad is a song, originally transmitted orally, which tells a story. It is an important form of folk poetry which was adapted for literary uses.
