Greek mythology’s greatest warrior - Iseult Gillespie

Dig into the Greek myth of Achilles, and follow the infamous warrior during the Trojan War and see what leads to his downfall.

--

Born to a sea nymph and a king, and trained by the legendary centaur Chiron, Achilles was a demigod destined for greatness. When Greece declared war on Troy, Achilles knew the war was written into his destiny. With horses born from the west wind and a spear wrought from a mountain peak, he readied himself for battle. Iseult Gillespie tells the tale of the infamous warrior and his heel.
