Published translations of the Iliad run into many dozens, if not
hundreds, but none present the story in the form of sonnets. The
sonnet works well, conveying the story fluidly and giving a sense
of the marvellous poetry that is found in Homer. The narrative
within the Iliad is followed closely; major omissions being those
relating to exploits prior to the siege of Troy, as related by
elders such as Nestor, and much of the detail of one-to-one combat
involving the minor characters. The 317 poems within this volume
may well be the longest, strict, sonnet sequence ever written in
English.
