After stories about gods (Myth) and people (Heroes), Stephen Fry continued his grandiose ancient cycle with the greatest legend, which is already more than three thousand years old. The story of Troy and its heroes is fresh and relevant to this day, even though centuries separate us from it. The Ten Years' War, which engulfed the entire eastern Mediterranean and its environs at the turn of the 13th and 12th centuries BC, became, thanks to Homer and his Iliad, an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the entire Western civilization. The story of Troy still determines our ideas about heroism, love, betrayal, revenge, treachery, disappointment, repentance, despair and generosity. In his third volume of great ancient tales, Stephen Fry offers us a real novel in its most modern sense - just as dynamic, exciting and touching to the heart. Helen, Paris, Achilles, Patroclus, Menelaus, Agamemnon, Priam, Hecuba - these and many other names have already become almost household words, but Fry gave this immortal symphony of voices and destinies a brilliant and very modern sound.
