Another great poem
I have been reading this series on the Iliad since 1984, and each instalment is new, exciting, and wonderful. The sensation is a bit like sucking in cold air on a chipped tooth- painful, but you know you are alive.And the battle scenes belittle anything from Hollywood.
Please keep writing these marvellous books.

More like a filmscript
than a poem, a vibrant, chilling, breath-snatching action narrative of the first battle scenes from Homer’s Iliad. An entrance into the pre-humanist world of the Greek warriors.
