War with Troy, The Story of Achilles is not an audio
book. Like Homer's original, it is an oral retelling
to be heard, not read. This version of the Trojan War
is designed for use in the classroom. Conveniently
broken down into 12 episodes of about 15 minutes on 3 CDs, the story starts with the marriage of Peleus and Thetis, and ends with the fall of Troy. The storytellers have retained key features of Homer's original poems, such as extended similes, to provide children with the richest of learning experiences. (3 hour, 3 Compact Disc Set)
