| Summary/Abstract |
In this edition the author juxtaposes the account of the Trjan War with collages featuring newspaper clippings of modern events from World War I through the Persian Gulf war to the War on Terror. As the story unfolds, striking similarities between the world of Homer's Illiad and our contemporary world become clear. Proud Achilles, prophetic Cassandra, crafty Odysseus, and all the rest are reflected in our leaders, enemies, and next-door neighbours - they are alive and making headlines! This book shows the relevance of the past and the resonance of the present.
