A war, which lasted for 10 years, was fought over her and nearly all the stories of the heroic age were bound into her story - a measure of her capacity to galvanise men into action.

Critics Review
An impressive feat of research and imagination. Itas no mean trick to resurrect not only ancient Attic politics and lifestyles, but the atmosphere of a time in which the gods truly spoke. (Diana Gabaldon, author of “Outlander”)
A feast … George leaves us with the most coveted prize of fiction: a world … we wished existed, and that thoroughly does between the covers. (“Chicago Tribune”)
Fresh and vivid. (“The Washington Post”)
What Ms. George has created with this book is a great summer read: realistic characters, engaging plots and enough mythology and Homer to make it all interesting. (“The Dallas Morning News”)
[George] is a powerful writer. (“The Washington Post”) Margaret George proves herself to be the very best when it comes to historical fiction… She dazzles us. (Barbara Taylor Bradford)
