Homer's account of The Trojan War has entertained and thrilled countless generations over nearly three thousand years. Agamemnon, Achilles, Menelaus and the Greek armies surround Troy in an attempt to regain the beautiful Helen from Paris, son of King Priam. Hector leads the Trojan defence. The war continues for ten years until The Trojan Horse breaks the deadlock.

The battle won, the wise Odysseus sails off to his island of Ithaca, where his faithful wife Penelope waits. But the gods thwart his progress, and the journey takes another ten dangerous years. Here is an ideal introduction for young listeners, read with infectious excitement by Benjamin Soames.
