What a Disappointment,
By "6thgradeteacher" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of the Trojan War (Usborne Library of Myths & Legends) (Library Binding)
I've read four children's versions of the Iliad, and this one is by far the most disappointing. The author has chosen to concentrate on the romantic aspects of the war, which is certainly an option, but to end it with Menelaus in tears is going way too far. My students, familiar with the story from other sources, found the dialogue trite and laughable. As one said, "Since when would Achilles say 'Sir' to Agamemnon?" There are far better versions of the Trojan War out there to use to introduce children to this classic. This one's a miss.
