The epic saga from Homer has
influenced literature since the day it was discovered. Presented here is a re-telling of
the classic epic from the human perspective, rather than from that of the Greek Gods.
Covered within these pages are the events that led to the extraordinary Trojan War.
Her name was Helen, her beauty was renowned throughout the world.
"The face that launched a thousand ships".
In this struggle, great heroes, both in glory and in
weakness, grapple in a conflict that raged for ten years.
The Greeks and the Trojans fought
for their kings.
They fought for glory.
They fought for Helen.
Here is the story of that
fated war.
Here is the story of TROY
With the huge success of the Odyssey, Troy would cover the
great war that preceded the survivor's quest. And this version deals with a much
more human level as the gods are not part of the storyline. It also covers the
events that led to the war and the tragic aftermath.
Brief Description:
The incredible saga of Troy, the events and ten year battle between the Greek Kings and
the Trojans.
Key Elements: Strong cast of warriors
(Odysseus, Paris, Helen, Achilles, Cassandra, Hector, Ajax, and others...each with a
strong personality. Warfare on a grand scale. Strong love interest storylines.
Association: Potential to rank up with
epic classics such as Braveheart, Gladiator, and El Cid.
Format: Released in serialized and
then collected graphic novel from Tome Press. Critically acclaimed series.
Additional: Would certainly hold appeal as
a movie or mini-series. The focus is strictly human as the Gods are not part of the
storyline, although human actions may be due to beliefs, but there is not a direct
interaction of the Gods.
