of
Black Ships Before Troy: The Story of the Iliad:
"Out of all the trojan war adaptions i could have been forced to read i’m sure i could have read a much worse version. Don’t get me wrong this was awful to get through. I could make a very long list with lots of flaws. For example, too much whiny men,"
