Epic story or historical fact? Historians disagree whether the Trojan War was either – or both! Around 1,200 BCE, war raged between the Ancient Greeks and their rivals in Troy. It’s the oldest story in the world, and its account was captured by the Greek poet, Homer. In this amazing and intriguing audiobook, you’ll learn just why this story is still studied in high schools and universities worldwide!
Who were these Greeks, and what drove them to fight for so long, so far from home? Who were the Trojans, and how were they able to fend off the mighty Greeks for ten long years? Perhaps even more important, what has caused us to tell and retell this story for thousands of years?
This audiobook takes its audience on a journey into Homer’s Iliad and beyond; you’ll be surprised at the workings going on between gods and humans, royalty and commoners, soldiers and their captives. For an exciting ride that ends inside of a wooden horse, come along! You’ll learn:
- Why the war started
- How one face launched a thousand ships
- About the tricksters – and the tricked!
- Myth or history – which parts are which?
- Who were the Trojans?
Despite its numerous interpretations, Homer’s Iliad remains one of the world’s most discussed and most studied works of all time. Many say the war itself was not as important as Homer’s work; even Alexander the Great kept a copy under his pillow!
Join us on this amazing and inspiring trek through the history of the Trojan War as depicted in this awe-inspiring and entertaining work. Get ready for quite a historical rollercoaster ride!
