Summary:

"These are the gloomy words of Choerilus of Samos, an epic poet writing in the late fifth century BC. Earlier writers have explored every avenue, have excelled in every type of poetry. What way is still untravelled by the chariot of song? Choerilus' response was to compose an epic poem which dealt, unusually, with a recent historical subject - the Persian Wars"-- Provided by publisher.
