The Story of Troy is a work of history written by author and historian M. Clarke. It is an excellent choice for those wishing to familiarise themselves with the story in a quick and efficient manner. Clarke opens his book with a brief discussion of Homer, author of The Iliad and The Odyssey, and whose writing serves as a major source of information about the history of Troy. The author then begins his interpretation of Troy with several chapters examining the city's geography and geo-political status. Of course, any history of Troy must address the Trojan War, and it is on this topic that Clarke spends the majority of his time. The writings of Homer, as translated by Alexander Pope, serve as Clarke's primary source of information about the war. The book proceeds in a logical fashion, and concludes with a chapter on the death of Achilles and the status of the Greek chiefs after the war. Clarke has created a well-written account of Troy's history. Although written in the nineteenth century, and therefore lacking in some of the historical breakthroughs of the modern world, The Story of Troy is still an interesting and useful interpretation of the events detailed. Clarke's writing is concise and definitive and this book could best be categorized as an introductory history. Readers interested in a basic history of Troy will enjoy The Story of Troy. Clarke's passion is clear and his work here is commendable. This title is a worthy addition to the personal library of history enthusiasts everywhere.

Excerpt from A Daughter of the Gods: The Story of Helen of Troy This is simply a collection of the thoughts and say ings of others about the fair Helen of Troy, and if, as I fear, I have rather overcrowded this sketch with poeti cal quotations, it is because I became an enthusiast, and finding anything which bore reference to her, I could not then omit it. I am indebted to Symonds and Collins for the chap ters on the Iliad and the Odyssey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Tale of Troy Meanwhile at Phthia in Thessaly there came about the famous wedding of Peleus, king of the Myrmidons, with Thetis, the silver-footed goddess of the sea, whom he caught in a cave by the seashore, and held fast, though she tried to slip from his grasp by enchantment, and changed her shape seven times. She changed to water, to vapour, and to burning flame; and to a rock, and to a black-maned lion, and to a tall and stately tree. But Peleus remembered what Cheiron.

Excerpt from The Fall of Troy Homer's Iliad begins towards the close of the last of the ten years of the Trojan War: its incidents extend over some fifty days only, and it ends with the burial of Hector. The things which came before and after were told by other bards, who between them narrated the whole "cycle" of the events of the war, and so were called the Cyclic Poets. Of their works none have survived; but the story of what befell between Hector's funeral and the taking of Troy is told in detail, and well told, in a poem about half as long as the Iliad. Some four hundred years after Christ there lived at Smyrna a poet of whom we know scarce anything, save that his first name was Quintus. He had saturated himself with the spirit of Homer, he had caught the ring of his music, and he perhaps had before him the works of those Cyclic Poets whose stars had paled before the sun. We have practically no external evidence as to the date or place of birth of Quintus of Smyrna, or for the sources whence he drew his materials.

Excerpt from The Story of the Iliad These discursions, irrespective of intrinsic interest or poetic quality, obscure rather than illuminate. The story of Troy is more vivid without them. For that reason they have been excised. The principal translations have been carefully com pared, and from various renderings, selections have been made which seem to most fully breathe the spirit of the original, although the versions given are not in all cases the most literal, poetic fire having been Chosen in preference to feeble literalness. Thus each translator is represented by his noblest passages; and the reader sees the fiery epic from many view-points.
