Publisher's Synopsis

Whose was the face 'that launched a thousand ships'? Why did King Menelaus call other kings to war? Whose body was worth its weight in gold? The answers are here! In other stories in the 10th volume of the essential introduction to ancient Greek myths, readers can thrill to stories of war and conquest, heroism and hi-jinks. Meet Achilles, too, and find out why we explain someone's weakness as being their 'Achilles' heel'. Meanwhile, what's happened the Atticus the Storyteller and his quest to visit Troy? Could he still be at sea, after all this time ...?
