Book 201

The following poems may be accessed by clicking on them. They are in alphabetic order and not themed order. The intention at the outset was to rewrite the Illyad - or rather an extended version of it dating back to the Judgement of Paris and dealing with the concepts in emotive terms rather than the logistics of conflict or the politicking of Gods. This may not be clear but then the thing is only about half done [half baked ?] The poems themselves are presented in alphabetic order making any structure even more abstruse.
