Poetry and storytelling have become somewhat separate in modern times but they used to go hand in hand. They both go back to the very beginning of our existence, of people telling each other what life was all about and how they lived it. Much like paintings, before photography came along, served the purpose of providing portraits and a token to remind people of important events in their lives (or communicate these events to others), so did poetry have a more functional nature too that went beyond aesthetics, entertainment and self-expression. If we think about it, at their origin many of the things we now call art were also tools that people used to serve important aspects of their daily lives. Poetry could be used as a way to preserve the history and traditions of the peoples, to comment on political and social affairs of the time, to honour kings and other importat members of society, to honour heroes of the past, even to honour the Gods, to name a few things. I recently began reading one of the writings of Virgil, the Georgics, which among other things offers a beautiful description of agriculture in his time and the lives of those who lived off the land, providing advice on when and how to sow and to harvest and how to raise animals. It wasn't just about that, though: the political scene and the war are also themes that show up in the Georgics. 🙂
