"Few books on mythology, or on ancient art, provide such good reading as Woodford's lively treatment of the myths and tales associated with the Trojan War. In an understated manner, with excellent narrative and amusing treatment throughout, she regales the reader with the wonder of the stories and the humor of the situations in which both gods and people find them- selves. Carefully chosen pictures, drawn largely from Greek vase painting, but also from Roman wail paintings, mosaics, and sculpture, make a rich tapestry of illustrative material." —Classical World
