(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Carole Hénaff. Two practiced British storytellers focus on the titular warrior for a succinct account of the Trojan War, supplementing Homer's Iliad with other ancient sources (an author's note would have helped). Expertly honed language moves the events along swiftly. Acrylic illustrations, bright with Attic red and Aegean blue, recall ancient Greek art and second the meaning of the text without competing with it.
