The Luck of Troy by Roger Lancelyn Green
Based on the legend of the fall of Troy, this story begins as the siege is drawing to a close. Carried off by Paris with his mother, Helen, when he was two, Nictostratus has divided loyalties. Only when he discovers that Paris is planning to betray Achilles does he swear to help the Greek army.
