About This Item
Clad in Achilles' own armour, which he had captured in battle, Hector waits outside the walls of Troy to meet the Greek hero in single combat. It will be a battle to the death, for Achilles comes to avenge the killing of his life-long friend, Patroklos and it will be a turning point to the long war between the Greeks and the Trojans. Drawing upon the latest researches into Bronze Age culture as well as Homeric tradition, John Appleton has re-created those episodes of the epic legend which are actually the story of a dramatic struggle between two vital and powerful men, Hector and Achilles. Mythical belief and sharp realism combine in this classic tale of vengeance and honor. . 'The Slayers' attests to the author's education in the classics; he won the Lowell Classical Scholarship at Harvard..A bright sharp-cornered book.
