Tales of Troy: Ulysses, The Sacker of Cities is a book written by Andrew Lang that tells the story of the legendary hero Ulysses and his exploits during the Trojan War. The book is part of a larger series of books by Lang that retell classic myths and legends from around the world. The story begins with the Greek army gathering to sail to Troy to rescue Helen, the wife of King Menelaus, who has been kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris. Ulysses, the king of Ithaca, joins the Greek army and becomes one of its most important leaders. The book follows Ulysses as he participates in the Trojan War and engages in various adventures and battles. He is known for his cunning and intelligence, and his ability to outsmart his enemies. Ulysses is also famous for his long journey home after the war, which is chronicled in Homer's The Odyssey. Throughout the book, Lang draws on various sources to create a vivid and engaging retelling of the story of Ulysses and the Trojan War. The book is suitable for readers of all ages and is a great introduction to the world of Greek mythology.The war might now have ended, but an evil and foolish thought came to Pandarus, a prince of Ida, who fought for the Trojans. He chose to shoot an arrow at Menelaus, contrary to the sworn vows of peace, and the arrow pierced the breastplate of Menelaus through the place where the clasped plates meet, and drew his blood. Then Agamemnon, who loved his brother dearly, began to lament, saying that if he died, the army would all go home and Trojans would dance on the grave of Menelaus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
