|title=The Iliad (The Classics)
|author=Rosemary Sutcliff and Alan Lee (illustrator)
|rating=3
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=How do you retell the Iliad for the modern young reader? Do you, for example, have Helen of Troy but only imply, not state, that hers was the face that launched a thousand ships? Should you, as Rosemary Sutcliff does here, ignore all the important background detail and just let the story tell itself? How do you convey to the masses the mythical talent of a story that has lasted millennia, yet when it all comes down to it is just a lot of detail of people fighting, and fighting, and fighting?
