They await a fair wind for the Aegean; it does not come, because the gods are offended. The body of King Priam lies unburied and desecrated, and so the victors remain in suspension, camped in the shadows of the city they destroyed as the coalition that held them together begins to unravel. Old feuds resurface and new suspicions and rivalries begin to fester. Largely unnoticed by her captors, the one time Trojan queen Briseis, formerly Achilles's slave, now belonging to his companion Alcimus, quietly takes in these developments. She forges alliances when she can, with Priam's aged wife, the defiant Hecuba, and with the disgraced soothsayer Calchas, all the while shrewdly seeking her path to revenge. 600 00 $a Briseis $c (Greek mythological character) $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Hecuba, $c Queen of Troy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Revenge $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Trojan War $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Troy (Extinct city) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Mythological fiction. $2 lcgft 700 02 $i Novelization of (work): $a Homer. $t Iliad. 941 $a 2 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220920011026.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210911010223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=87348A2612C511EC9889D91B53ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
