It is distinct from a pan-national epic which is taken as representative of a larger cultural or linguistic group than a nation or a nation-state. Where no obvious national epic existed, the "Romantic spirit" was motivated to fill it. ^ Paul Cohen, "In search of the Trojan Origins of French", in Fantasies of Troy, Classical Tales and the Social Imaginary in Medieval and Early Modern Europe, Alan Shepard, Stephen David Powell eds., published by the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies, 2004, p.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7888.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7888.txt
