A handsomely illustrated retelling of the Iliad and a good introduction to the original.

Sutcliffe’s work is a fantastic introduction to The Iliad for both children and adults. Although this is a prose translation, the language here is still beautiful.

Sinceramente tenia muchas ganas de leerme a Iliada, o una adaptacion de este libro, y al comenzar este año observe que Naves Negras ante Troya estaba entre los libros obligatorios de Lengua y Literatura. Me hizo mucha ilusion, por que la pelicula Troya me habia encantado y amo la mitologia griega, y , aunque ya sabia todo lo que iba a pasar me gusto mucho. Hay muchas cosas que no salian en l pelicula y me sorprendieron.
Esta muy bien escrito, con un lenguaje sencillo y muy bien adaptado.

Fun way to introduce my kids to the Iliad during our study of Ancient Greece. They really seemed to enjoy the story.

The Iliad, for kids! But still with plenty of blood and gore. I liked it.
