Bellum Troianum

The gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus are enjoying themselves at a party when, suddenly, an apple addressed "to the most beautiful" appears in their midst. The ensuing fight for the apple between Juno, Minerva, and Venus soon spills over to earth and pulls Paris, Helen, Menelaus, Agamemnon, Hector, and Achilles into ten years of war between Greece and Troy.

Bellum Troianum joins other novellas in the Comprehensible Classics series in using a limited vocabulary to tell an exciting story that is accessible to beginner and intermediate readers of Latin.
