About This Book

Mourning and pain marred the return of the Achaeans after the fall of Troy. The wrath of Poseidon falls on Ajax Oileo; Agamemnon dies at the hands of Aegisthus and Klytemnestra; Ulysses has to face endless wanderings. And Diomedes, betrayed and hated by his wife, is forced to flee from Argos and seek a new homeland for himself and his faithful followers in the inhospitable regions of Hesperia. Natural adversity and savage men give no respite to weary warriors. Until Diomedes finds himself once again in front of Aeneas and engages in the last duel with him. But even the conquest of peace and a new kingdom did not prevent the tragedy of the last Homeric hero from taking place... Drawing inspiration from myths and history, from Homer and the aedi, Valerio Massimo Manfredi gives us a powerful and fascinating novel about the decline of Achaean glory. And on the birth of a new world.
