Tale of Troy, The - Benedict Flynn - Audio Book

Tale of Troy, The - Benedict Flynn : 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

In mythology, the Trojan War was the last great adventure of the heroic age. Its significance gained a great deal by being a terrific yarn, sexy, violent,funny, tragic and full of memorable
characters plus of course the elements of fantasy and magic, Troy has become a favorite subject
for children between 8 to 13 years. Still and allways a great read.
