S.P. Somtow's classic sequel to The Iliad returns to print. Firmly rooted in modern archaeological discoveries about Bronze Age cultures, "The Shattered Horse" paints a vivid picture of a decaying golden age seen through the eyes of the survivors of Trojan War . at the center of the story, Prince Astyanax, heir to the Trojan kingdom, marked for death as a child by the Greek conquerors, escaping perhaps by divine intervention . doomed, perhaps, to repeat history. An astonishing panoply of mythic characters come to life in this book, called by Gene Wolfe "in the true sense, a work of genius."

The Shattered Horse SP Somtow Books

This is one of the few novels about the ancient Greek world that can go head to head with Mary Renault in terms of freshness, authenticity, and emotional depth. It differs from other Greek novels in positing an "alternate history" of the Trojan War, one in which the child Astyanax survives and is forced to relive the Trojan War in a time when the Golden Age is about to end. It is one of the grittiest evocations of the period, with the stink of manure as well as the gorgeous palaces. And pretty much everyone in the Iliad and Odyssey gets at least a cameo. Transparent and beautiful.
