I love this book; it's written in modern prose, but has a poetic feel to it that touches on more than just the physical world. I love how it's written. I love how the author depicts the relationship of Achilles and Patroclus.

In his epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, the Greek poet Homer (c. 750 BCE) told the story of the Trojan War, a ten-year siege of the city of Troy by an alliance of Greek city-states. #History #Troy #TrojanWar #Homer #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2196/discovery-of-troy/

This is the #TrojanWar as told from the perspectives of the women.
Haynes mines #Homer, #Virgil, #Ovid, #Euripides, and #Aeschylus for the women who circle the edges of the story, plotting, prophesying, waiting, grieving. Most memorable among them are the inconsolable, far-seeing #Cassandra, the acerbic #Penelope, and #Calliope, the muse who insists that this war be told her way.

Homer narrates in the #Iliad that during a brief stop-over on the small island of Kranai, Helen and Paris consummated their passion.
In my erotic retelling, #Aphrodite is there to help them along.

The bright-eyed goddess at my side
Appeared, and grabbed me by the hair.
Unseen by all those gathered there
But me, she bid me cool my wrath,
Be calm, and watch the great bloodbath
Between the Dardans and Argives
Unfold: these gain ground; those lose lives.

Left: Agamemnon (Brian Cox) in Troy, 2004
Right: Agamemnon (Francis de Wolff) in Doctor Who, The myth makers (1965)
The Doctor Who story is lost, so presumably there’s no direct influence. In that case, it’s a little eerie how similar their designs are.
Other depictions of Agamemnon (Helen of Troy, 1956; La guerra di Troia, 1961) look very different.

Thetis is one of 50 Nereids (sea nymphs) and a goddess of the sea in Greek mythology. Thetis is best known for being the mother of the Greek hero Achilles, however, her role goes beyond that; she appears in various stories and interacts with multiple gods and goddesses, often caring for gods and heroes in need. https://www.worldhistory.org/Thetis/ #TrojanWar #Thetis #GreekMythology #History

@trombalazana I enjoyed this course by Pr. Shepherd and would recommend it as well.
People may also want to consider Professor Benjamin Kozlowski's lectures, especially his series on the Trojan War, the Iliad, and the Odyssey.
Warning! He uses bad words sometimes!

Be still, my child. Your son will reign
As promised. My plans remain
Unaltered. Yet, in three short years,
He’ll die in battle. Hold your tears!
Your grandson then will build the sturdy
Walls of Alba Longa, rule for thirty
Summers. His heirs will call it home
Three hundred years, then move to Rome.
