DESCRIPTION:
After a decade of fighting and thousands dead, the Greek forces suddenly fell back. For 10 years, the battle raged. Thousands of ancient Greece's best warriors battled their enemies, the Trojans, in a desperate attempt to win back King Meneleus' beautiful wife, Helen. Cautiously the Trojans ventured out of the city walls, where they discovered a giant wooden horse and a messenger. Should they accept this peace offering? Or is the gift horse too good to be true?
Even though you may have read about this Greek God story in school, you may want to check out this graphic novel version. Joseph J. Truncale Even though I had read numerous Greek stories in school, including “Helen of Troy” I purchased this graphic novel version (Trojan horse: The fall of Troy by Justine & Ron Fontes and Gordon Purcell) of this ancient Greek tale.In general the story follows this well-known ancient story's main theme, even though I had read a few other versions of this same tale. This graphic novel is organized into the following sections: The first part (A rotten apple) introduces the Greek Gods and the birth of Paris. The second part covers “The Weary War” and is where the Trojan horse is discovered on the beach. The third part Troy ignor. David P. Smith said AWESOME. The comic for me was highly educational and fun to read. My Grandpa and I took turns reading it.. Four Stars This is not our favorite book on the topic but it's nice to have variety.
