Notes

48 p. : col. ill. Adapted from Virgil's Aeneid and The War at Troy by Quintus of Smyrna. For ten years the battle raged. Thousands of ancient Greece’s best warriors battled their enemies, the Trojans, in a desperate attempt to win back King Meneleus’s beautiful wife, Helen. After a decade of fighting and thousands dead, the Greek heroes suddenly fell back. Cautiously the Trojans ventured out of the city walls where they discovered a giant wooden horse and a messenger. Should they accept this peace offering? Or is the gift horse too good to be true?
