The Song Of Troy: Colleen McCullough

The tale of Helen and Paris, the immortal lovers who doomed two great nations to war. It is told through the eyes of the main characters: the sensuous and self-indulgent Helen; the equally self-indulgent Prince Paris; the subtle, brilliant Odysseus; the noble Hektor; the sad, elderly King Priam; the tormented warrior-prince Achilles and King Agamemnon, who consents to the unspeakable in order to launch his thousand ships incurring the fury of his wife Klytemnestra.
