The ancient city of Troy really existed. But there is much more to it.Leave it to one of the English language's greatest practitioners, Robert Graves, to flesh out the story in a very short book for children, first published in 1962, and out of print for more than three decades. The Trojan War that figures in Homer's two great epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, really happened.
Yet The Siege and Fall of Troy is perhaps the first modern attempt to make the whole story, from the foundation of Troy to the return of the victorious Greeks, into a single short book for boys and According to Graves, "English literature, to be properly understood, calls for as close a knowledge of the Trojan War as of the Bible: Helen's beauty, Odysseus's cunning, Hector's noble courage, Achilles's vulnerable heel, Ajax's madness, Agamemnon's murder, have all become proverbial.
