Evi Pini, Elisa Vavouri
The Trojan War. The Beginning of History [Τρωικός Πόλεμος. Η αρχή της ιστορίας (Trōikós Pólemos. Ī archī́ tīs istorías)]
Evi Pini explains
how the Trojan War started. The text is in the form of a fairy tale, as implied
by the standard phrase “once upon a time” (my translation) at the very
beginning. The book begins with Eris and ends with Iphigeneia’s last-minute
rescue from being sacrificed to Artemis. Neither fighting nor bloodshed is
presented. Instead, we have an account of human and divine passions and
emotions, as well as a description of logistical preparations for going to
war.&nbs(...)
