Epithets and kennings are both literary devices used to enhance description and add depth to language. An epithet is a descriptive phrase or adjective that highlights a characteristic of a person or thing, often used in poetry and literature, such as "swift-footed Achilles." In contrast, a kenning is a compound expression that replaces a noun with a metaphorical description, like "whale-road" for the sea. Both devices enrich the imagery and meaning in a text, allowing for more creative expression.
