This doesnt make sense to me, as the difference between Epic or Epyllion & a verse novel is not explained edit

An Epic or Epyllion is essentially the same, plus, there is no precedent for this notion of verse noval in Classical literature. The idea of a "Novel" is medieval and never would have been followed by the modern nor early modern litterati or authors. Furthermore, the examples of Petronius, Apuleius, & Lucian are purely comedic. PLEASE erase this garbage article.
