Until a brave Spartan dreamed up a desperate and daring gambit that just might turn the tide of battle in Sparta's favor.\r\n\r\nIntrigue, deception, betrayal, and the love of a woman whose face launched a thousand ships brought two great armies to war.\r\n\r\nThe place was Troy . . . and this is the epic story known as \u003ci\u003e The Iliad\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Greg Tobin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Mass market (rack) paperback","offer_id":45216044482720,"sku":"9780765348722","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_781142b8-7d72-42e5-898d-99d10808266d.jpg?v=1687466277","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780765348722","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
