How does that compare to the population of people who memorize the Old testament or the Quran?

I remember hearing that the entire epics of the Iliad and the Odyssey we're all done via memorization and only spoken... How do you think those poets memories compared to a child who reads it Bob the builder books?

I watched so many reruns of Community I could recite the episodes by heart. I don't think that made the rest of my memory any better.
