The Tale of Troy
Benedict Flynn
- Unabridged
Narrator: Benjamin Soames
Length: 2 hours and 37 min.
£6.70
There was once a time, nearly four thousand years ago, when the tall towers of a city called Troy reached gleaming into the sky; when its proud king fought against an invading army in a desperate siege. The Tale of Troy was so important to the ancient Greeks that its author, Homer, became a kind of hero. Long after his death artists, thinkers, and ordinary people still look to his tale for inspiration. This exciting version of the famous story is retold especially for 8-13 year olds.

Customer Reviews
This is a great yarn very well told and with a lot to offer. It serves as a nice little over view of the Ilyad by Homer or a good introduction to great classics in general. But it's also a good story, full of great characters and compromised heroes, those Trojan boys just do not date! Naxos are very good at covering the sexual and violent elements of classic stories in ways that will be appropriate for most young families but with out skipping over the events altogether. This approach is employed to good effect here. The production also weaves in atmosphereic and pulse surging classical music to great effect. Once you've enjoyed this one be sure to download the Naxos Odyessus volume, it's just as good.
