New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, (1970) dj. Hardcover first edition - Although Powell began his career as a novelist with writing several "inner sanctum" mysteries and is probably best known for "The Philadelphian" (basis of the 1959 film, "The Young Philadelphians" starring Paul Newman), he was fascinated by the stories and the characters in the Iliad, Odyssey and Aeneid from a young age, and the result is this historical novel of the Trojan War, as seen from the perspective of a young boy - "a big and colorful and lovingly-researched novel of its people and events." Includes scraps from a writer's notebook. 378 pp.
