The Trojan War, a New Book About Greek Myths
The Trojan War is the final explosion of gods and humanity broiling together under the sun, in the dust and em that's somethingi looked forward to. The thing i didn't look forward to, because i don't think of myself as that sort of person, was the butch manoa mano fighting that formed so much of the iliad. But do you know, reading it again, it is extraordinary how beautiful poetic, strong and ad d and perfect really. And i was very pleased at my publishers when they found that the actual fighting in the sand in front the walls of troy was, for them, really important part of it.
