Marly,
I've heard the term "novel in verse." Also, could it be counted as narrative poetry? I'm sorry I haven't read the Thaliad (yet!) so it's hard to judge. It does depend on your audience too, I suppose. I like "story poem" myself, although some people might think that's a short poem. Or you could just say the hell with it--it's an epic, so there, and here's why it's wonderful and different, and why there's nothing else like it! Thinking....
