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.

"The people who lived in those days were closer to gods than we are, and great deeds and marvels were commoner then, which is why the stories we have from them are nobler and richer than our own. So that those stories should not pass from the earth, I have decided to set down everything I know of the stories of the war at Troy - of the way it began, of the way it was fought, and of the way in which it was ended."

With these words, Phemius the bard of Ithaca and friend to Odysseus, opens Lindsay Clarke's compelling new retelling of the myths and legends that grew up around the war that was fought for the Bronze Age city of Troy and have magnetized the imagination of the world ever since.

Here are the tales of two powerful generations of men and women, living out their destinies in the timeless zone where myth and history intersect and where the conflicts of the human heart are mirrored by quarrels among immortal gods. Peleus and Thetis, Paris and Helen, Agamemnon and Clytaemnestra, Achilles, Odysseus and Hector - all are given vigorous new life in a version of their stories which remains faithful to the mythic form in which they first appeared yet engages the reader in a startlingly contemporary drama of the passions.

THE WAR AT TROY speaks to a world still racked by violent conflict in ways which address important aspects of our own experience while at the same time providing imaginative access to the rich store of mythology which is our heritage from the ancient world.

Great pillow & Machine Washable
A little on the firm side at first, but it's getting softer with a little use.

Fluff this in the dryer and this is the perfect pillow!
I bought throw pillows from this same brand and was disappointed until I read a tip in the reviews to place them in the dryer on fluff for about 20 minutes. That did the trick and one saved me after a rotator cuff injury. I used it for months to prop my arm up and prevent pain in my shoulder. I loved it so much I decided to see if this brand made a pillow for sleeping and was excited to find they did! This one took two rounds in the dryer on fluff, but I couldn't believe how soft and fluffy it got. I have been getting the best sleep ever since. If you get this pillow, I highly suggest throwing it in the dryer. It makes a huge difference!

Comfortable
This is the fluffiest pillow I have ever bought. I bought it for my 5 year old. He is extremely happy with it and makes him feel like he finally has a big boy pillow that supports him when he sleeps. I might buy one for myself. Defiantly a good purchase.
