Download or read book The Story of Troy Classic Reprint written by M. Clarke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of Troy is a work of history written by author and historian M. Clarke. It is an excellent choice for those wishing to familiarise themselves with the story in a quick and efficient manner. Clarke opens his book with a brief discussion of Homer, author of The Iliad and The Odyssey, and whose writing serves as a major source of information about the history of Troy. The author then begins his interpretation of Troy with several chapters examining the city's geography and geo-political status. Of course, any history of Troy must address the Trojan War, and it is on this topic that Clarke spends the majority of his time. The writings of Homer, as translated by Alexander Pope, serve as Clarke's primary source of information about the war. The book proceeds in a logical fashion, and concludes with a chapter on the death of Achilles and the status of the Greek chiefs after the war. Clarke has created a well-written account of Troy's history. Although written in the nineteenth century, and therefore lacking in some of the historical breakthroughs of the modern world, The Story of Troy is still an interesting and useful interpretation of the events detailed. Clarke's writing is concise and definitive and this book could best be categorized as an introductory history. Readers interested in a basic history of Troy will enjoy The Story of Troy. Clarke's passion is clear and his work here is commendable. This title is a worthy addition to the personal library of history enthusiasts everywhere.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tale of Troy The suitors of Helen were many, and were so fierce in their wooing that their threats affrighted Tyndareus, who was old and feeble; for each one vowed that if he did not win her hand he would wreak a fearful vengeance both on the rival who should be preferred to him and on the family of the bride. At last Tyndareus made all the suitors agree to swear a mighty oath, that, whosoever among them might become the husband of Helen, they would all stand by him, and help him to win back his wife if any one robbed him of her. After this, Tyndareus bade Helen herself choose out of all her suitors the one whom she loved best for her husband. She chose Menelaus, the brother of Agamemnon; and when they were wedded, Tyndareus gave up his kingdom to his son-in-law, and Menelaus and his wife reigned in Sparta.
