Troja

Achilles confronts Hector before Troy, and the ten-year-long Trojan War begins. All of this is due to the beautiful Helen and, of course, the judgment of Paris. The Trojan War is a central event in Greek mythology. Despite all its brutality, the story that Homer described in ancient times still fascinates us. Yvan Pommaux has translated this multi-stanza epic, just as he did with the Odyssey, into his powerful visual language, giving today's children the key to unlock this great work. The way Yvan Pommaux stages the Trojan War today allows us to experience the events from 2,800 years ago as if we were there. "Greek myths are cool," said a thirteen-year-old girl recently, who had read the Odyssey to her little brother, who listened breathlessly. And this will happen again, especially when Achilles arrives.
