There are graphic deaths of several characters. A group of women are hung and it is described in the epic with a few disturbing lines. There is a lot of violence in general.

3.0

Its a good story, but, there are SO MANY REPETITIVE WORDS (yes, I know it's an "Epic poem") but, good grief! It's a plethora  of redundancy, for a story that I personally would have enjoyed; in a more stripped down, less poetic telling.
