One of the most famous works about war in human history is the "Iliad", an epic poem about the war between the Greeks and the Trojans, written about three thousand years ago. It is a true example of the genre: the insignificance of the cause, the ghost of a near victory that taunts opponents, jealousy and envy that inspire heroic deeds, and ultimately—only death and destruction. In the book you hold in your hands, the magic of Homer's brilliant storytelling is picked up by a modern illustrator.

Historical themes occupy a huge place in the work of French illustrator Ivan Pomme. He is already known in Russia for the book "We and Our History". Ten years ago, he began working on a series of five books about ancient Greek legends and myths. The result was exceptionally beautiful and fascinating books, including "Troy". With them, a young reader can become acquainted with works that have been considered the foundation of any classical education for centuries.

The book was published with the support of the French Institute in Russia.


READER AND CRITIC REVIEWS
The illustrated retelling of Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey", done by French illustrator Ivan Pomme, is so accurate, thorough, and faithful that it has every right to take a place on the shelf of a Russian-speaking reader next to N.A. Kun's "Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece" and Academician Gasparov's "Entertaining Greece". Only with pictures too.
