Description
"What happens when the gods disagree? They send the mightiest of heroes to fight a war. But which hero will you be, and who will you side with: Greece's King Menelaus or Paris, a prince from the city of Troy? If the gods favor you, you just may survive the fighting. Full-page illustrations, interactive stories, and multiple endings transport you back to ancient Greece and into thick of battle as the Trojan War rages on."--
