Unknown ancient Greek scrolls accidentally fall into the hands of a young historian. Having started translating them, the scientist suddenly realizes that he has become the owner of a unique treasure - the notes of a contemporary or even a participant in the events now known as the Trojan War. And the very first manuscript revealed to the scientist the story of the most famous of the Groyan heroes - Achilles, a story that is strikingly different from described in myths.

And the exploits performed by young Achilles turned out to be comparable to the deeds of Hercules himself!..The first novel of the “Heroes of Troy” series.
