The title and content are meant to parody the epic poetry genre (Homer’s Iliad being a famous example). The poem describes the events leading to the Paxton Massacre. It mocks the Paxton Boys and their motivations, with a clear anti-Paxton bias from the author.](https://dev.librarycompany.org/wp-content/uploads/am1764gym-795-d-24-blog-2-495x400.jpg)
