by Brian Gronewoller
Illustrated by Oralyn Murchison

The gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus are enjoying themselves at a party when, suddenly, an apple addressed “to the most beautiful” appears in their midst. The ensuing fight for the apple between Juno, Minerva, and Venus soon spills over to earth and pulls Paris, Helen, Menelaus, Agamemnon, Hector, and Achilles into ten years of war between Greece and Troy.

Based on the accounts of the Trojan War in the epic poems of Homer and Vergil, Bellum Troianum is written for novice and intermediate readers of Latin.

This novella is Volume 21 in the Comprehensible Classics series as well as Volume 1 in the Fabulae Epicae series.
