Did the ancient Greeks really go to war over the elopement of Helen of Troy,
as Homer and the ancients would have us believe?

Agamemnon's War, a provocative, fictional narrative based on the Trojan War, follows the heroes of the age as they speak for themselves: Odysseus, who is conflicted in his mind over the impending war and his part in it; a hesitant Achilles, who ultimately pays for his involvement with his life before he can enjoy any of the rewards that come with victory; and King Agamemnon, who is swayed easily by the conniving Nestor, ruler of Pylos.

Author Paramesh Nayar covers a strange and volatile mix of geopolitical considerations that drives the Greeks to great victory over their rivals and seals their hegemony over the regions for decades. But as in all wars, the loss is borne most heavily by the common people-the soldier on the ground, schooled in great traditions and honor, meeting with brutal reality, and the bereaved family members of the fallen.

In Agamemnon's War, the loss is the same, then and now .
