Wendover Bookshop - The Tale of Troy, Roger Lancelyn Green

The Tale of Troy Zeus said, "It is in my mind to cause the great and glorious war of Troy, that shall be famous to the end of time. Famous too, are the names and heroes who fight at Troy." This book recounts the stories of these heroes.

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.
