How do writers of epics typically start their poems?

Epic writers seek inspiration by invoking their muse. Famous writers make an invocation to the goddesses of literature, arts and science in Greek mythology because they believe that these goddesses is the source of knowledge in these ancient cultures to produce historic and legendary works. Meanwhile, in current English, muse are now use in general to describe a person who gives inspiration to a writer, musician or artist.

This war took place around 1754. It lasted until 1763, I believe and it was a war fought in North American colonies.
