Product Description

Trojan Dialogues presents a very unusual rendition of the Tale of Troy, as seen through the eyes of the Greek hero, Diomedes. The novel reconciles the different accounts conveyed in Homer’s immortal Iliad and other classical epics with the latest archaeological evidence. The author presents a somewhat more plausible interpretation of what may, indeed, have been historical events, along with highly imaginative explanations of the “thousand ships,” “Greeks bearing gifts,” Helen’s elopement with Paris, Akhilles’ sexual preferences, and—of course—the “Trojan horse.” We shall never know precisely what, if anything, transpired on the shores of Asia Minor during the Late Bronze Age, but Trojan Dialogues brings us much closer to a realistic, though still highly romanticized, picture than any version of the tale yet composed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Iliad in plain English, April 21 2005

By Anita Gelbart - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Trojan Dialogues (Paperback)

This book is perfect for someone who might be interested in the story of the Iliad, but does not care to decipher the poorly translated poetry of the original. Mr. Cavallero does a good job bringing the well-known Greek characters to life, and I hope he does his "version" of the Odyssey. I surely will buy it. A very enjoyable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Original Account of the Trojan War Story, May 21 2012

By Sandy Hack - Published on Amazon.com

Starting with archaeological findings including fragments of writing from the ruins of Herculaneum, an original prose account of the Trojan War story can be found in "Trojan Dialogues". Author Cavallaro's extensive research, attention to detail and vibrant dialog are evident here. This is a book you will want to read if you have an interest in the mythology or history of ancient Greece.
