Description
In Ancient Greece, in the Age of Heroes, the awkward young prince Patroclus, is exiled to the court of King Peleus, where he meets his son Achilles - strong, swift, and beautiful. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men, their bond blossoms into something deeper.
But when news comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, the heroes of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause, and torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows.
Soon the cruel Fates will test them both and demand a terrible sacrifice.
Illustration for the BBC Radio 4, The Book at Bedtime.
Tom Hollander reads Madeline Miller's masterful retelling of the Trojan War - an electrifying tale of love, ambition and immortal fame.
