Siege And Fall Of Troy, The/ Greek Gods And Heroes

Robert Graves

Siege And Fall Of Troy, The/ Greek Gods And Heroes

Audio Cassette (Books on Tape, Inc. June 9, 1992)
Helen's beauty, Odysseus' cunning, Achilles' vulnerable heel are all proverbial. As well known as the incidents and characters are however, Robert Graves' new telling brings fresh life to this story of the Trojan War.

Graves believed earlier translations suffered on important details. So he follows up genealogies of the characters, tells the incidents leading to the epic clash and its aftermath, and makes an exciting narrative of what for many of us was a tedious classroom exercise.

GREEK GODS AND HEROES recounts the days when gods and goddesses who dwelt on Mount Olympus ruled over the world of mortals below, and fabled heroes performed mighty deeds of valor.
