The Comic Panel: Age of Bronze

Paris. Helen. Achilles. Agamemnon. Odysseus. What do all these names have in common? They are characters from Homer's Illiad, and some of the main characters in the comic we are reading today, Age of Bronze. This comic is about a young man named Paris who grew up as a son of a farmer, and later learned that he was the son of a king. This king brought him back into the family, which only served to make him more arrogant. His newly discovered father sent him on a mission to rescue his father's sister, but Paris's arrogance wouldn't allow him to use his father's military might to capture an "old woman that no one cares about". Instead, he seduces and steals Helen of Troy, a woman that was married to another man. This started a whole chain of events that led to the infamous Trojan War. Learn about this and more in our review of the second book in our roman/greek history theme, The Age of Bronze by Eric Shanower
