(2) Another way is to describe the noble descent, valour, learning and other excellent merits of the enemy and then to describe the hero as conquering his formidable enemy-thus establishing the undisputed superiority of the hero.
The first method is followed in the poems such as tude and others. The second method is adopted by the authors of facialister and forin1394.
Here an interesting point has been discussed by the commentary: in the definition of a A816162 it is said that in a 196707 there should be a description of a city, ocean, seasons, sunrise etc. Now the question arises as to whether the description of all the things enumerated in the definition is obligatory or is perfectly optional i. e. depending on the volition of the poet. If it is obligatory, then in ferra, fry91594 and other poenis the description is not exhaustive. For instance, in faciaisia there is no description of a city. On the other hand, if it is optional, then any poem that does not contain any description of the things mentioned here, will have also to be included in the list of AET610315. Is then the description of these things, the criterion of a Hela ?
The answer to this is very clearly given in the commentary : 'Yes,' says the commentator, 'the description of all these things is an essential feature of a #191021; but the number of things to be described depends upon the nature of the plot of the poem. If the story of the poem is a very comprehensive one, then it admits within its pale the description of all the things enumerated in the definition, but if it is a short story, then some things only should be described.
