Fordim,
This thread reminds me of the old difference between the epic and the novel, the epic traditionally representing a cycle, whilst the novel, in its conception, is a straight line of progress (at least it was around the time of Goethe, I believe).
Though the evolution of literature since then might have led, in some cases, to a certain congruence of these two elements, no?
Something to think about, perhaps?
