Description

Homer's epic poem is brought to life for younger readers. It is the tenth year of the siege of Troy and no one knows who will win. The gods watch from Mount Olympus and fight, too, some for the Greeks and some for the Trojans. There are many battles and Achilles tries to avenge a friend's death.
