After The Odyssey<\/a><\/em>
comes the war against Troy,
and the gods have chosen sides!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with his adaptation of The Odyssey<\/em>, Hinds quotes the important speeches that drive the story forward and transmutes the voluminous descriptive text into his illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping track of so many names and affiliations in the classic Greek tale is so much easier with Hinds’ distinct armor and headgear, color-coding, and layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ugly business of war in colorful garb\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who was right in the Trojan War?
