The War at Troy by Lindsay Clarke
Vigorous new life is breathed into the myth's of Homer's Iliad in Lindsay Clarke's new dramatic retelling of the wars fought for the Bronze Age City of Troy. Paris and Helen, Agamemnon and Clytaemnestra, Achilles, Odysseus and Hector are skilfully rejuvenated in this startlingly contemporary drama of the passions.`I found The War at Troy a triumph of retelling the ancient story of the siege and its aftermath, a readable and freshened version that keeps one turning the pages’
Alan Sillitoe
'an engaging retelling of the whole story, neatly blending mythic archaism with modern psychodrama and satire'
Guardian
`I’m awed by the web you’ve spun. Not only the beautiful complexities of it but the fine texture of the threads …Full of wise things.’
Ted Hughes
Acclaimed author Lindsay Clarke won the 1989 Whitbread Prize for Fiction with Chymical Wedding and is also well-known for Alice's Masque. He has an extensive knowledge of mythology and legend and runs workshops in the UK and abroad.
