This spans literary genres such as epics, fables, myths, novels, poems, plays and even screenplays. Sometimes, art functions as illustration and accompanies a written text, enhancing the reading experience. Other times, artists may create independent artworks that capture memorable moments from a story or spin off into more obscure imaginings.
