Tale of Troy

There was once a time, nearly four thousand years ago, when the tall towers of a city called Troy reached gleaming into the sky, when its proud king fought against an invading army in a desperate siege. The Tale of Troy was so important to the ancient Greeks that its author, Homer, became a kind of hero. Long after his death, artists, thinkers and ordinary people still look to his tale for inspiration. This exciting version of the famous story is retold especially for 8-13-year-olds.
