Second part of this retelling of the Trojan war. I read volume 1 in the original B/W and volume 2 in the later color version. Not sure which I prefer. They are both nice.

This is still mostly a bunch of guys waiting around trying to go to war but getting delayed. Still, it is a pretty compelling story, ending with the story of Iphegenia in Aulis.

I've mostly encountered the characters in this story in stand-alone stories. (Paris, Helen, Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Achilles, Ajax, Castor, Pollux, Priam, Cassandra, Odysseus, and many more ....) It's nice to see them all together in context.

honestly i'm PRETTY SURE the primary thesis of age of bronze is destroy all men

like there'll probably be some stuff about glory and the remaking of the greek model of hero and all that stuff from the iliad but so far?

destroy all male characters of age of bronze

3 stars
