The long poem is a literary genre including all poetry of considerable length. Though the definition of a long poem is vague and broad, the genre includes some of the most important poetry ever written. The long poem traces its origins to the ancient epics, such as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.
The MahÄbhÄrata is the longest known epic poem and has been described as the longest poem ever written. Its longest version consists of over 100,000 Åloka or over 200,000 individual verse lines (each shloka is a couplet), and long prose passages. About 1.8 million words in total, the MahÄbhÄrata is roughly ten times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined, or about four times the length of the RÄmÄyaá¹a.
