Tales of Troy is a book written by Charles Degarmo and first published in 1891. It is a collection of stories and legends about the Trojan War, one of the most famous and enduring myths of ancient Greece. The book is divided into several parts, each focusing on different aspects of the Trojan War and its aftermath. The first part of the book introduces the main characters and sets the stage for the conflict between the Greeks and Trojans. It tells the story of the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, who compete for the golden apple of Eris, the goddess of discord. The winner of the contest, Paris of Troy, is promised the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Sparta. The second part of the book describes the events leading up to the Trojan War, including the abduction of Helen, the gathering of the Greek armies, and the voyage to Troy. The third part of the book focuses on the battles and sieges of the Trojan War, including the famous story of the Trojan Horse. The fourth part of the book deals with the aftermath of the Trojan War, including the return of the Greek heroes to their homes and the fates of the Trojan survivors. The final part of the book explores the enduring legacy of the Trojan War, including its impact on art, literature, and culture throughout the ages. Overall, Tales of Troy is a fascinating and engaging retelling of one of the most enduring myths of ancient Greece. It is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, history, or literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
