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.
Based on the accounts of the Trojan War in the epic poems of Homer and Vergil, Bellum Troianum (Fabulae Epicae, Vol. I) is written for novice and intermediate readers of Latin.
This novella is also vol. 21 in Andrew Olimpi's Comprehensible Classics series.

Storybase Books publishes novellas to help beginners learn Latin and Greek by reading. Our novellas use limited vocabulary to tell engaging stories that are accessible to novice- and intermediate-level readers. Meanings for many words are provided in footnotes, and a full index of all words, word forms, and phrases is included in each novella. Readers can thus read each novella on their own, with others, or with a class.
