Una visión moderna de la épica leyenda del héroe de la Guerra de Troya tejida con las historias paralelas de su vida: la protección de su madre, la ninfa Tetis; su educación en la guerra de la mano de Quiron, el centauro, y en el arte por la musa Caliope, asi como su temprana eleccion de una vida corta y gloriosa frente a otra larga en años y anodina, hasta su tragica muerte a manos de Paris. En este largo poema en prosa que retrata la agonia y la belleza de un mito clasico, Elizabeth Cook construye una historia viva, vibrante y cercana que, sin embargo, no traiciona la esencia atemporal de sus fuentes. Una intensa novela que pone de relieve el poder de la narracion historica para recuperar los arquetipos clasicos y aproximarlos a la sensibilidad contemporanea.
