[INDOLOGY] Mbh stratification

[Harry Spier]

Is the relative frequency of epic forms and constructions in the
Mahabharata independent of the age of the section they appear in?  Or do
older parts of the Mahabharata have more epic forms than newer sections?

Are there any epic forms in the Bhagavadgita?
