The Fall of Troy: The Wooden Horse, the Burning City, and the Myths That Completed the Trojan War: 3 - Brossura
Sinossi
Troy’s greatest defender was dead. Achilles had fallen. The Greek army had spent ten exhausting years beneath walls it could not break. Victory would not come through another heroic duel, but through one of the most famous deceptions ever imagined.
The Fall of Troy follows the final and most devastating phase of the Trojan War, from the gathering of the Greek fleet and the sacrifice at Aulis to the anger of Achilles, the death of Hector, the arrival of new champions, the prophecies protecting Troy, and the construction of the wooden horse. It traces the hidden warriors into the city, the warnings of Cassandra and Laocoön, the burning of Troy, the destruction of Priam’s royal house, and the troubled journeys of the Greek victors as they attempted to return home.
Drawing upon Homer, the surviving summaries of the lost Epic Cycle, Greek tragedy, ancient mythographers, Roman literature, Hittite records, and archaeological research at Hisarlık, this book carefully distinguishes ancient literary tradition from historically verifiable evidence. Conflicting versions are presented without forcing certainty where the sources provide none.
This is not merely the story of how Troy was defeated. It is the story of how honour became vengeance, how victory became atrocity, and how a ruined city achieved a cultural immortality greater than that of the warriors who destroyed it.
