【BOOK BLURB】
The long siege of Troy, the battles fought over it, and the city’s eventual capitulation and incineration are events which have often been retold since their first recitation by Homer. Seldom, however, will they have been narrated with such close attention to the minute particulars of battle, to its reek and terror and pain. What if not everything in the Trojan war came to pass just as Homer tells us? What if the future of the Roman empire were hidden in the burning ashes of Troy’s – and not in the way we might expect?【EXCERPT】“I just wonder if I am fated to be remembered for killing everyone I ever respected. You are known for your wisdom. If Troy survives, Priam will be remembered for building one of the greatest cities of the world, Odysseus. Even Agamemnon will be remembered for building an empire.” Taking a long drink from the wineskin, he offered it to Odysseus again, but Odysseus declined. “If you’re going to sit talking to me, you’re going to drink with me,” Achilles insisted, pushing the wineskin into the old man’s hand. “Me? I’ll be remembered for killing my friends.”“War makes butchers of all good men, Achilles. You know this; you have lived through it for long enough.”“But why does it have to be my sword that finished him? Why does fate line me up with them, Odysseus?”Taking a long drink from the wineskin, Odysseus looked Achilles in the eye and seemed to sober temporarily. “Fate lines you up with lesser men too, Achilles; you just don’t remember them, their names or their faces. They are lost to history. Achilles, you are a champion and there is always someone wanting to know which champion is the greatest, so you will end up facing the other heroes and they will often be friends, or your own heroes. How else would you have earned your name?”
