The Trojan Horse: The Fall of Troy [A Greek Myth] (Graphic Myths and Legends)

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 ignores “a woeful warning.” The fourth part deals with the sleeping city, in which they have dragged the Trojan horse into the city. The final part (The towers tumble) deals with the fall of Troy. There is also a glossary guide with further reading and websites.The beautiful full color graphics in this novel are just fantastic. It really makes this ancient story come alive.If you like Greek history and graphic novels you should check out this publication.Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J.

Great product at a very good price. Great company to deal with. Fast shipping.

It arrived on time , nice illustrations , readable and interesting for my children . cheep enough to buy more from amazon and also the search , graphic novels made it easy to find books for my beginning reader child and be sure there would be enough illustrations to carry interest untill the end .

Bought for my son, he was excitted to hear it was coming ,he loves graffic novels and he loves greek history, so this fits the bill,

My 9yr old really enjoyed this, as did I, but we both breezed thru it in no time. They would have done better to include more. The graphics were wonderful, though.

Gift for grandkids - they like visual language and high adventure stories. I like the myths being introduced at such a young age -elementary school ages.

This is not our favorite book on the topic but it's nice to have variety.

The comic for me was highly educational and fun to read. My Grandpa and I took turns reading it.
