A review by doro_la_thea
The Song of Troy by Colleen McCullough

5.0

I had to order this from Amazon UK as it has not been published in the US; it was worth every penny & after reading the paperback I ordered the hardback version so I could loan the paperback. This is more approachable than the Odyssey and Iliad, bringing to life the stories of Greek heroes & villains other than just Achilles & Hector, Odysseus & Agamemnon, and fleshes out the the women as well: Helen, Iphigenia, Clytemnestra, Cassandra and more. I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates stories that span generations with intrigue, passions, revenge, honor & foolishness. The fact that the story has been told for centuries and yet still feels new is a testament to McCullough's ability to re-tell the tale.
