The Apple of Discord

A reconstruction of one of the oldest poems in the world - the lost prequel to the Iliad. This is the first time anyone has attempted to restore this ancient epic poem. Using authentic ancient sources, including summaries, fragments, literary references and vase paintings, the reconstructed poem recreates a vanished world, half-history, half-legend - the world of Achilles, Agamemnon, Helen of Troy and the forgotten hero Palamedes. 329 pages.
