Treece, Henry

The son of a Roman Tribune, raised in Roman Britain, familiar with Celtic customs, and friendly to their people, chooses to follow his father as a warrior until barbarism and battle change his mind.

A young boy, slave to Helen, witnesses the events leading to the downfall of Troy--Cassandra's warning, Odysseus' secret visit to Helen, Achilles' slaying of Hector, the death of Achilles, and the bringing of the wooden "horse.".
