Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Drawing on ancient texts and modern archaeology, this narrative unveils the trans woman's story hidden within the myths of The Iliad, presenting a haunting vision of Achilles' world. The gods demand blood, while she fights for love. Achilles has left her home and the brutal Myrmidon clan to live as a woman among the kallai, the transgender priestesses of Great Mother Aphrodite. When Odysseus arrives to recruit Achilles for war against the Hittites, she is determined to die rather than fight as a man. However, her divine mother, Athena, intervenes, transforming her body into the woman she always desired to be, promising glory, power, fame, and a child of her own. Reunited with her beloved cousin, Patroklos, and his wife, the sorceress Meryapi, Achilles embarks on a vengeful path to war. Yet, the gods—a dysfunctional family of abusive immortals—have woven schemes more horrific than she can fathom. At the center lies the cruel, immortal Helen, who views Achilles as a worthy adversary. Infatuated with her newfound foe, Helen seeks to annihilate everything Achilles holds dear, igniting a battle to the death. This retelling offers a fresh perspective on the Trojan War, revealing Achilles' vulnerability through her choices in love and trust.
