  Trojan War Shield

  SKU: AH6119

  This sturdy shield is inspired by the Trojan War, waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans (Greeks) after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta. The Trojan War, as recounted in Homer’s Iliad, sits at the very foundation of Greek literary and cultural identity, and the shields of its heroes — Achilles’ shield above all — are among the most famous in Western literature. This reproduction offers a shield evocative of that legendary conflict for a Homeric or general Greek heroic impression.
