Vigorous new life is breathed into the myth's of Homer's Iliad in Lindsay Clarke's new dramatic retelling of the wars fought for the Bronze Age City of Troy.

Paris and Helen, Agamemnon and Clytaemnestra, Achilles, Odysseus and Hector are skilfully rejuvenated in this startlingly contemporary drama of the passions.

"The people who lived in those days were closer to gods than we are, and great deeds and marvels were commoner then, which is why the stories we have from them are nobler and richer than our own. So that those stories should not pass from the earth, I have decided to set down everything I know of the stories of the war at Troy - of the way it began, of the way it was fought, and of the way in which it was ended."

With these words, Phemius the bard of Ithaca and friend to Odysseus, opens Lindsay Clarke's compelling new retelling of the myths and legends that grew up around the war that was fought for the Bronze Age city of Troy and have magnetized the imagination of the world ever since.

Here are the tales of two powerful generations of men and women, living out their destinies in the timeless zone where myth and history intersect and where the conflicts of the human heart are mirrored by quarrels among immortal gods. Peleus and Thetis, Paris and Helen, Agamemnon and Clytaemnestra, Achilles, Odysseus and Hector - all are given vigorous new life in a version of their stories which remains faithful to the mythic form in which they first appeared yet engages the reader in a startlingly contemporary drama of the passions.

THE WAR AT TROY speaks to a world still racked by violent conflict in ways which address important aspects of our own experience while at the same time providing imaginative access to the rich store of mythology which is our heritage from the ancient world.

Great Everyday Shoes—More Casual Than Expected
Size: 12, Color: Black/Optic White
Very comfortable and lightweight—great for everyday wear. Build quality feels solid, especially for the price. They lean a bit more casual than the photos suggest, but not in a bad way—still versatile enough to dress up or down.

Stylish, Comfortable, and GQ-Approved
Size: 9, Color: Navy Ink/Woodbury, Size: 9, Color: Navy Ink/Woodbury
I bought these Cole Haan Grandsport Journey Knit shoes for my husband, and he absolutely loves them. They’re stylish and really complete his outfits — very GQ vibes. He says they’re extremely comfortable on his feet and easy to wear all day. Great look, great fit, and definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

Extremely comfortable
Size: 10.5, Color: Navy Ink/Woodbury
As a manager for a very large corporate office campus, I do a LOT of walking. These shoes are a life saver. They look good, are comfortable, and so far, very durable. There are a lot of tile floors on this campus and when the shoes were new, they were a bit squeaky due to the soles adhering to the floors. Now they are as quiet as can be. I like them so much I asked for a pair in brown for Christmas - also awesome!
