Troja und die Rückkehr des Odysseus

It all begins with a golden apple and a difficult choice. The great goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite challenge the prince Paris to decide who among them is the fairest. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, tempts him with the promise of giving him a woman as enchanting as herself. However, the only woman who matches Aphrodite's beauty is Helen – and she is already married to King Menelaus of Sparta. When Paris abducts Helen, fateful events unfold... With masterful storytelling, Rosemary Sutcliff brings to life the events celebrated by Homer in his Iliad and Odyssey in her own impressive way. Whatever Sutcliff describes comes wonderfully alive for the reader through her clear narrative style.
