About
This book contains Michael Clarke's 1897 work, "The Story Of Troy". This volume tells the story of Troy, and particularly of the famous siege which ended in the total destruction of that renowned city. It is a story of brave warriors and heroes of 3000 years ago, about whose exploits the greatest poets and historians of ancient times have written. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in Greek mythology. Contents include: "The Judgment of Paris", "The League against Troy", "Beginning of the War", "The Wrath of Achilles", "The Dream of Agamemnon", "The Combat between Menelaus and Paris", "The First Great Battle", "The Second Battle-Exploit of Diomede and Ulysses", "The Battle at the Ships-Death of Patroclus", "End of the Wrath of Achilles-Death of Hector", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this had been becoming increasingly rare or expensive. This volume is now republished in an available, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
