'Epopee' literally means 'pride', 'boasting', and 'bragging' from an epical perspective, it refers to the dialogue between two heroes humiliating their enemy through offensive language and boasting about themselves expressing their honors. Definitely, to achieve the psychological atmosphere ruling epopees only depending on the literal meaning of words without the involvement of other sciences is impossible. Today, the interdisciplinary approaches have been focused on and welcomed by public in scientific, educational and research policy making. Among these, the effect of psychology to better understand literary texts can't be denied. The psychological review could occupy vast and absolutely unknown area in the literature. This type of review can be used as an accurate and comprehensive tool to read the vocabulary not written or considered by the author.
