Is the iliad a really long sonnet?

Hi there-- it's cool that you are interested in the Iliad and the you know that a sonnet has 14 lines. The Iliad is an epic poem, and no, it's not a sonnet. You can find examples of sonnets and a copy of the Iliad online or at your local library. It's hard to believe that the entire Iliad was memorized and recited to audiences. Enjoy.
