"Stories from the Iliad; Or, the Siege of Troy" by Jean Lang is a collection of retold tales from the ancient epic "The Iliad," likely written in the late 19th century. This book aims to narrate the heroic tales of the Trojan War, making them accessible for younger audiences, particularly targeted toward children. The stories encompass central themes of heroism, honor, love, and the consequences of pride, primarily told through the lens of characters such as Achilles, Agamemnon, and Hector. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the events that lead to the Siege of Troy, beginning with Paris’s choice causing chaos among the gods. Paris, a prince of Troy, faces a pivotal moment when he must judge the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, which ignites a chain reaction resulting in the abduction of Helen, Menelaus’s wife. This leads to the collective fury of the Greek forces, culminating in the ten-year siege of Troy. The opening portion sets the stage for the conflict among these legendary figures, foreshadowing themes of honor, love, and betrayal that resonate throughout the book.
