Achilles: A Novel

Born of god and king and hidden as a girl until Odysseus discovers him Achilles becomes the Greeks greatest warrior at Troy. Into his story comes a cast of fascinating characters―among them Hector Helen Penthiselaia the Amazon Queen and the centaur Chiron; and finally John Keats whose writings form the basis of a meditation on the nature of identity and shared experience. Achilles is an affirmation of the storys enduring power to reach across centuries and cultures to the core of our imagination.
