Epic story or historical fact? Historians disagree whether the Trojan War was either - or both! Around 1,200 BCE, war raged between the Ancient Greeks and their rivals in Troy. It's the oldest story in the world, and its account was captured by the Greek poet, Homer. In this amazing and intriguing book, you'll learn just why this story is still studied in high schools and universities worldwide! Who were these Greeks, and what drove them to fight for so long, so far from home? Who were the Trojans, and how were they able to fend off the mighty Greeks for ten long years? Perhaps even more important, what has caused us to tell and retell this story for thousands of years? This book takes its audience on a journey into Homer's Iliad and beyond; you'll be surprised at the workings going on between gods and humans, royalty and commoners, soldiers and their captives. For an exciting ride that ends inside of a wooden horse, come along! You'll learn: Why the war started How one face launched a thousand ships About the tricksters - and the tricked! Myth or history - which parts are which? Who were the Trojans? Who were the Achaeans? Was it kidnapping or did they elope? Achilles' heel - why was it so vulnerable? The many prophecies - and their fulfilment Death of heroes - depending on which side of the sea you lived! How Ancient Greeks viewed the Trojan War Modern-day discoveries and interpretations Despite its numerous interpretations, Homer's Iliad remains one of the world's most discussed and most studied works of all time. Many say the war itself was not as important as Homer's work; even Alexander the Great kept a copy under his pillow! Join us on this amazing and inspiring trek through the history of the Trojan War as depicted in this awe-inspiring and entertaining work. Get ready for quite a historical rollercoaster ride! Grab your copy of this book, and dive into the legendary Trojan War!

No story was more interesting to Shakespeare and his contemporaries than that of Troy, partly because the story of Troy was in a sense the story of England, since the Trojan prince Aeneas was supposedly the ancestor of the Tudors. This book explores the wide range of allusions to Greece and Troy in plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, looking not only at plays actually set in Greece or Troy but also those which draw on characters and motifs from Greek mythology and the Trojan War. Texts covered include Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida, Othello, Hamlet, The Winter’s Tale, The Two Noble Kinsmen, Pericles and The Tempest as well as plays by other authors of the period including Marlowe, Chettle, Ford and Beaumont and Fletcher.

Perhaps there are some who will think we as a publisher are overexacting in our demands for children's literature. Many of Dr. Church's adaptations have come to us, and we cannot claim that they have added much to our respect for Homer. We always feel that we are backed up when we declare that in this retelling process, the large ruggedness which rightfully belongs to the classic is lost in the mild care we take of the sensitiveness of children. One is immediately drawn to Tales of Troy and Greece. Mr. Lang treats of Ulysses, Mellager, Theseus, Perseus, and puts into his text more substance than is found in the ordinary adaptation or rewritten classic. Contents: Ulysses The Sacker Of Cities The Wanderings Of Ulysses The Fleece Of Gold Theseus Perseus This book is fully illustrated and annotated with a rare extensive biographical sketch of the author, Andrew Lang, written by Sir Edmund Gosse, CB, a contemporary poet and writer.
