AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"In recasting a tale told in Euripides' IPHEGNIA AT AULIS, involving characters made famous by Homer's ILIAD, Barry Unsworth presumably hopes to square up to these literary forebears, spin a good yarn, and persuade modern readers that his story carries some relevance to their lives today. He succeeds in all of these aims, to a limited extent....His story mirrors, to good effect, the plot movement of the ILIAD, from long inaction to extreme violence, and the characters...are rounded and convincing. Unsworth writes beautiful sentences in the Apollonian style."Unsworth, Barry is the author of 'Songs of the Kings' with ISBN 9780393322835 and ISBN 0393322831.
