leganto 's review for:
I shouldn't be surprised that an epic war poem is full of blood and guts, but dang!
And man are those Homeric/epic similes something to behold; they remind me of when my students are trying to hit a word count. Naturally, I now have to try my hand at one.
Like a student who, seeing his due date looms in the distance, stretches and expands his too short composition and casts his bucket at the wells of verbosity and the thesaurus, so to did Homer, mighty in poetry though weak in eyes, forge grand analogies where something simple, though ignoble, could have said the same.
Bravo! Now I know why my generation incorporated the word "epic" into our "gamers' speak."
