Which epic characteristics are found in this excerpt from the Iliad by Homer?

And now, the warriors passing on the way,
The graceful Paris first excused his stay.
To whom the noble Hector thus replied:
"O chief! in blood, and now in arms, allied!
Thy power in war with justice none contest;
Known is thy courage, and thy strength confess'd.
What pity sloth should seize a soul so brave,
Or godlike Paris live a woman's slave!
My heart weeps blood at what the Trojans say,
And hopes thy deeds shall wipe the stain away.
Haste then, in all their glorious labours share,
For much they suffer, for thy sake, in war.
These ills shall cease, whene'er by Jove's decree
We crown the bowl to heaven and liberty:
While the proud foe his frustrate triumphs mourns,
And Greece indignant through her seas returns.

A characteristic describes something, sorta like an adjective.

3) starting in medias res would be one, since it means to start the plot through dialogue, etc. 

4) invocation of a muse would also be one, since the poet is inspiring something worthy.

Answer:

  • starting in medias res
  • invocation of a muse

Explanation:

  • When we speak of "In Medias Res", we are referring to the way a story is constructed and then told to the public - to its structure. It is a Latin expression that means "in the middle of things", and it is at this point that a story begins when using this narrative technique: in the middle.  In the case of this excerpt from "The Irony" the chronological order of events is broken, and the spectator is thrown at a time when events are already under way.
  • The invocation to the muse, in this excerpt, expresses in a dramatic way the grandiosity of the subject to be sung, conferring to the composition of an inspiration honored by the poet.
