Years ago a trip report was written as epic poetry, in the style of Homer. I remember really enjoying it, but don't remember the author or peak.
With the release of The Odyssey, I was telling my son about the trip report but can't find it. Does anyone remember the author or can anyone provide a link?
Epic Poem trip report???

Cedica.... That sounds like it could be the one. Who is the author? I checked through MtnHub reports but didn't see it. Thanks for helping!
