The Rape of Helen by Coluthus (Illustrated)
()
About this ebook
The epic poet Coluthus of Lycopolis flourished in the early sixth century AD and his sole extant work is ‘The Rape of Helen’. A poem of 392 hexameters, it was almost lost, save for its discovery by Cardinal Bessarion in the fifteenth century. It charts the events leading up to the Trojan War, with the famous ‘Judgment of Paris’, the abduction of Helen and their doomed arrival at Troy. It is a charming miniature epic, offering an invaluable resource for all students of classical Greek. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts.
