جدلية استعمال مصطلح الملحمة في الشعر العربي الحديث بين الحقيقة و المجاز

Abstract EN

The main idea of the current study came from the argument among the examiners of the long poems in the modern Arab literature.

Their argument revolved about whether or not to call the long texts as " Epic".

Each side has, according to his background or study, his own reasons of acceptance or rejection.

This study explores the possibility of calling the long texts as epic and provides the proof of the researchers who are in favor of and the ones against.

This study believes that such long texts should be called epics.

Therefore, it provides some samples of long modern Lebanese poems in which Ahlualbayt are the main theme.

These poems were called epics by their writers as they refer to the epics of Imam Ali and Imam Alhussien (PBUT).
