    The Iliad was first recited circa 8th century BC depicting events five centuries earlier (13th century BC). A similar epic composed today would be set in Shakespeare's time.https://twitter.com/chrisderose/status/1356081344837640200 …

        Paradise Lost was written in the 17th century, depicting incidents from 4004 BCE (according to Bishop Ussher). A similar epic written today would be set in the settlements of the late Neolithic.
