Black Ships Before Troy reimagines the story behind the Trojan War in clear, dramatic prose. It begins with a fateful choice between goddesses, a promise that changes everything, and the abduction of Helen—events that launch a generation into war.

Using current research on Troy and the ancient Greek world, the narrative brings Homer’s epic into sharper, more accessible focus. Alan Lee’s illustrations lend a haunting visual presence that evokes the age of heroes and the scale of the siege.

Key features:

  • Concise retelling of the Iliad and the Trojan legend
  • Grounding in archaeological and historical detail
  • Striking illustrations by Alan Lee
