YA Mythology Hop

I really need to be more careful about scheduling overlapping blog hops. But I just happened to have a YA mythology-themed book at hand to give away, so hopping onto the YA Mythology Hop was too good an opportunity to pass up! Thank you to For Those About To Read and I Am a Reader, Not a Writer for sponsoring this hop.

Here at JDP NEWS I'm giving away a gently used paperback copy of Black Ships Before Troy: The Story of the Iliad, by Rosemary Sutcliff. Here's the back cover blurb:

The gods and goddesses of Olympus scheme as the ancient world is thrown into turmoil. Helen, a legendary beauty and wife of the Greek King, has been abducted by her Trojan lover. The jealousy of the Greek King flames into lethal vengeance as the Greeks descend on the city of Troy aboard their black ships. In the siege that follows, history's greatest heroes--among them Ajax, Achilles, and Odysseus--are forged in combat, and the dark costs of passion, pride, and revenge must be paid. In the end, the whims of the gods, the cunning of the warriors, and a great wooden horse will decide who emerges victorious. A vivid retelling of Homer's epic tale, The Iliad.
