Imagine accounts of the Trojan War from those who actually fought there, long before Homer wrote The Iliad.

Intricate politics and memorable personalities, rather than the quarreling, intervening gods of Homer's epic, dominate these tales. Archaeological discovery and subsequent scholarship have established that both accounts were originally written in Greek, probably during the first century AD.

This new edition of the first English-language publication, translated by R. M. Frazer, brings together both narratives.
