For centuries, the ancient world was electrified by the story of the ten-year war that brought down the ancient city of Troy and destroyed the lives of countless Greek and Trojan warriors. In the modern world, according to Robert Graves, "English literature, to be properly understood, calls for as close a knowledge of the Trojan War as of the Bible." Here are ambition, greed, cruelty, suffering, madness, treachery, jealousy, pride, and foolishness in abundance, a tale of woe that brings the ancient world into a modern context. The ancient city of Troy was sacked sometime early in the twelfth century BC; The Iliad and The Odyssey were composed some four or five centuries later. But there were many other accounts besides Homer's, and Graves uses them all. His writing style is sleek, action- driven, and to the point. A great story like this deserves a great story-teller, and gets all that and more in Robert Graves.… (mere)

If I ever read The Iliad, it was probably in a CLassics Illustrated comic book in junior high school. Of course I know the broad outlines but Homer's poem is long and tedious, with lots of characters and a hard-to-follow plot. Graves has rewritten the tale as prose instead foi epic poetry, and added details as to what took place both before and after the period covered by Homer, as revealed or at least hinted at, in other Greek legends.
But... the plot is still WAY too tedious and there are vastly more characters than even a well-trained epic bard could keep straight, so I've become a believer that whatever version Homer came up with originally, it was altered time and again over the centuries.
There are lots of Greeks and lots of Trojans and lots of allies among them, plus dozens of gods and goddesses who can't stop meddling in the action. There are more illogical plot twists than any TV reality series - gods healing wounded warriors miraculously, making them disappear or even fighting mortal-to-god, hand-to-hand. Women, children, slaves, and peasants are brutally murdered. Women are all treacherous, as are kings. Children are dangerous because they will grow up and attempt to avenge their murdered parents. There are no good people, only self-centered greedy ones and most everyone is mad at someone else and sworn to revenge.
Graves tale is not a pleasant one, but he at least straightens out the story lines and tries to make it all make some sort of sense. There is no moral to the tale, however, unless it is that anyone in a position of power -- god, king or warrior -- has no moral compass.

Uno de los libros más hermosos de Graves, La guerra de Troya es la recreación de uno de los hechos esenciales para la comprensión del mundo clásico griego y de la literatura épica. Los conflictos entre Aquiles y Agamenón, el escenario de la guerra, la personalidad de Héctor, son explicados con una prosa tan admirable como amena. Tal vez este es, en palabras de Graves, "el primer intento moderno de xplicar toda la historia de Troya, desde la fundación de la ciudad hasta el retorno de los griegos victoriosos, en un libro breve". Esta novela, una de las más queridas por el propio Graves, es, al final, mucho más que la mera explicación de una leyenda: es un alegato a favor de la amistad y en contra de la guerra, un homenaje a la literatura clásica y, por encima de todo, una aventura apasionantes que se ha constituido ya en una pequeña obra maestra del siglo XX
