Publisher's Summary
Bringing ancient myth to life with passion, humour and humanity, Lindsay Clarke vividly retells the story of Troy and of the heroes who fought there in the third instalment of the Troy Quartet.
Troy has fallen. After 10 years of fighting and a savage final massacre, the victors quarrel over what remains and turn their minds to home.
Menelaus must decide the fate of Helen, whose incomparable beauty ignited the war. And Agamemnon must return to the fury of Clytaemnestra, who has neither forgotten nor forgiven his choice to sacrifice their daughter.
What the critics say
"An engaging retelling of the whole story, neatly blending mythic archaism with modern psychodrama and satire." (Mary Beard)
"Expertly handled, drawing on the best of this classic tale and shaping it into a riveting page-turner well-suited to our times." (Daily Mail)
"Wonderfully clear and dramatic." (The Observer)
