“Rosemary Sutcliff has done a great service . . . by
warmly and carefully abridging two classics that
many people find difficult to tackle in their original
form. Not only has she broken the long tales into tol¬
erable and interesting chapters,
she has smoothed out the language
while keeping true to all of the
original drama and excitement.”

the high place to the city gates. They slew
the gate guards and flung open the broad
gates to their fellow Greeks swarming up toward
them. Then terror came upon sleeping Troy. The
dark tide of warriors poured through and became a
river of flame, as men kindled torches at the guard¬
house fires and ran to burn the houses of the city.
Men, half waking and half armed, straggled out
to meet them and were cut down. The night was
full of the screams of women and children. The air
grew thick with the sounds of battle, and fire went
roaring through the city as it goes through a corn¬
field when a high wind is blowing.
But Odysseus had no part in all this. Indeed no
man had seen him since the war-band came out
from the horse s belly.
