TAILIEUCHUNG - Title: Historic Tales, vol 10 (of 15)

The far-famed Helen, wife of King Menelaus of Sparta, was the most beautiful woman in the world. And from her beauty and faithlessness came the most celebrated of ancient wars, with death and disaster to numbers of famous heroes and the final ruin of the ancient city of Troy. The story of these striking events has been told only in poetry. We propose to tell it again in sober prose. | Tales vol 10 of 15 by Charles Morris 1 Tales vol 10 of 15 by Charles Morris Project Gutenberg s Historic Tales vol 10 of 15 by Charles Morris This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
