A masterly retelling of the last great legend of the Heroic Age. Freshly and excitingly written, this is the story of Helen and the judgement of Paris; of the gathering of the heroes and the siege of Troy; of Achilles with his vulnerable heel, reared by the Centaur on wild honey and the marrow of lions; of Odysseus, the last of the Heroes, his plan for the Wooden Horse and his many adventures on his long journey home to Greece.
Author: Roger Lancelyn Green. A Novel Inquiries Study Guide is available for this book.
