Marly, do you think that "epic poem" is an outdated term? Or, at the very least, one that may feel daunting to modern readers? Thaliad is an epic poem, but that really means a novel in verse form. I wonder if there are other ways of describing such a book. My husband, for instance, would be unlikely to read an epic poem, but he loved
Thaliad, and said he quickly forgot that to was in verse at all!
