The Iliad
by Geoffrey Girard
(Purun Media, 2007)
A retelling for middle school readers of the most famous war story ever
told:
The classic Greek tale of the Trojan War! From such legendary warriors
as Achilles and Prince Hector to the very gods of Mt. Olympus. Being
produced for markets outside the U.S. Will let you know when/if a
version becomes available stateside.
The oracle moved
carefully through the large tent. Very carefully. Who would blame him?
It was a room filled with warriors. And, it seemed, these warriors were
in a very bad mood. Their faces, which were burned brown by the sun and
sprinkled with old scars of battle, looked cruel and serious as they
watched him enter and he pulled his dark robes closer, hoping to
protect himself from their harsh stares. He breathed deeply and tried
to find courage for his first words. “Greetings, Great
King,” he managed. "I bring you words of Death."
