<b>The story of the Trojan War presented in the <i>Iliad</i> and the <i>Odyssey</i>, attributed to Homer, is incomplete. This book completes it.</b><br />Originally presented as a thesis in the University of Coimbra (Portugal), this book reconstructs the plot of the Trojan War between the <i>Iliad </i>and the <i>Odyssey</i>. In order to do so, it uses the direct knowledge the authors of the Antiquity had of those subjects, but also iconographic sources, presenting them all and showing how they contribute to a faithful reconstruction of the Trojan Cycle, as it was known over 2000 years ago. Among the episodes reconstructed here are, for example, the battle against Penthesilea, the death of Achilles and the famous ruse of the Trojan Horse.<br />This is a work interesting not only for those who already read the <i>Iliad </i>and the <i>Odyssey</i>, but also for everyone who has some interest in Greek and Roman Mythology.
