Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an epic poem in a unique and challenging style, portraying the fall of Troy as prophesied by Cassandra. The author, a contemporary of Sophocles and Euripides, was influenced by Homer and Aeschylus but chose to recount the Trojan War through the lens of a woman, the daughter of King Priam. Cassandra's prophecies unfold in the aftermath of the abduction of Helen, after her brother Paris returns to Troy with the kidnapped queen. The book explores the causes of the Trojan War, the hubris of the Greek leaders, and the futility of war. Cassandra, cursed by Apollo to never be believed, bemoans the fate of her people, the destruction of her home, and the death of her family, in haunting and complex laments. The author's depiction of the Trojan War is far removed from the heroic accounts of Homer's Iliad, instead offering a scathing indictment of war and a profound meditation on the suffering it inflicts upon both the victors and the vanquished. This book is an essential addition to any collection of ancient Greek literature and a timeless exploration of the human condition in the face of impending doom. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780428031411_0
