The Iliad / Neil Packer

Children ought to know about this cultural treasure—not just the famous bit about the Trojan Horse, which brought an end to the Greek armies’ 10-year siege of ancient Troy, but also the petulance of Achilles, the nobility of Hector and the whims of the fickle gods of Olympus.
