what exactly makes epic poetry?

-Consistent Meter
-Higher powers interfering in mortal affairs
-Invocation of the Muse
-Journey of some sort, physical (Odysseus back to Ithaca, Aeneas to Italy, Dante throughout Hell, Gilgamesh to the land of the gods, etc) or mental (Achilles moving onward from his rage) or some combination of both.
