Happy publication day, Achilles!
This gorgeous new book in our 'Myths, Gods & Immortals' series reveals the man behind the myth of Achilles, the great warrior of the Trojan War. Considered the epitome of heroism in Greek mythology, Achilles' bravery in combat is famously depicted in Homer’s Iliad, but every hero has their flaws. Authors from classical times all the way through to late Antiquity and the modern era have interpreted his character in a multitude of ways, and this latest book continues the tradition, exploring everything from his exploits in the war and interactions with Agamemnon, Patroclus, Hector and more, back to his early days as an infant dipped into the River Styx, exposing one vulnerable heel.
We asked the authors in this collection to say a little more about their stories, what drew them to Achilles, and to let us know about their own favourite depiction of this Greek hero! Read more below...
