Lang tells the story of the Trojan War through the life of Ulysses, from his boyhood on rocky Ithaca to the wooing and stealing of Helen and the long siege that followed. Achilles, Patroclus and Hector fight beside the ships and before the walls, and Lang pauses to explain how people lived and fought in the age of the heroes.
