A magnificent and bewitching war story like no other...
The dark and vain side of us mortals. See Paris and Helen. Eventually bringing even the Gods to hold us in awe, admiration and even in agony as the story unfolds,the sheer cunning of Odysseus, The bloodlust of Achilles is simply delightful. This is once again an erudite narration from the Author. Kudos !

Extraordinary!!!
I love it!!! Stephen Fry has done it again. After Mythos and Heroes, I waited 2 years for the third book, and its finally here. The cover is so beautiful, as are the images inside the book. The book is well written, with Fry's brand of humor. A must read, but do read mythos and heroes before!
