Provides an introduction to Achilles and his place in Greek mythology, including his connection with the Trojan War and such figures as Athena and Apollo.
a fantastic telling of the Achilles myth, putting it in context and even explaining the term Achilles Heel. there are pronounciations, greek/roman word parallels. and the art chosen to go w/the text couldn't be better. i was expecting a little generic kids book and ended up w/a book i'm keeping.
