L'Iliade by Omero, Cinzia Medaglia - Summary
Elena is the most beautiful woman in the world. When Paride kidnaps her and takes her to Troy her husband, Menelao, who is also the King of Sparta, gathers the most powerful men in Greece and declares war against Troy. This is the story of Menelao’s heroic warriors, their adventures and of the bad tempers of the fickle but powerful Gods who intervene in the fate of the characters. Most importantly, behind the ten year long war occurring in the background, this is a story of friendship, honour, love and mutual respect. The text includes numerous activities and a short dossier on the Greek world.

Sullo sfondo di una guerra durata dieci lunghi anni, spiccano valori che perdurano nel tempo quali l’amicizia, l’onore, l’amore e il rispetto reciproco.
