In the modern world, according to Robert Graves, "English literature, to be properly understood, calls for as close a knowledge of the Trojan War as of the Bible." Here are ambition, greed, cruelty, suffering, madness, treachery, jealousy, pride, and foolishness in abundance, a tale of woe that brings the ancient worldinto a modern context. The ancient city of Troy was sacked sometime early in the twelfth century BC; The Iliad and The Odyssey were composed some four or five centuries later. But there were many other accounts besides Homer's, and Graves uses them all.His writing style is sleek, action- driven, and to the point. A great story like this deserves a great story-teller, and gets all that and more in Robert Graves"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Troy (Extinct city) $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Trojan War $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Social Science / Folklore & Mythology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / History / Ancient. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Adventure & Adventurers. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 1 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014050.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0DA07E766A1811E8B475F71D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
