The Trojan War,
By
This review is from: King in Splendour (Hardcover)
"King in Splendour" is the story of Agamemnon, King of Mycenę, told in the first person from the end of the author's earlier Warrior in Bronze until Agamemnon's return from the Trojan War (the sticky end he meets when he arrives is covered by a short epilogical quotation from "The Odyssey"). The account does not invoke any interventions by supernatural beings (although of course all the characters believe in their own gods); rather, the narration is cleverly constructed of secular events that might easily have given rise to the myths we all know.
Agamemnon in this sequel makes Machiavelli look like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Again, the tale is told in a lively narrative style, supported by very clear maps and family trees. |
