The conquerers were gone, the wooden horse lay rotting; and the son of Hector came down from the mountains to reclaim the throne of ravaged Troy. But there was no way for young Astyanax to rebuild his country or wreak vengeance--until the gods gave him a destiny: kidnapping the demi-goddess Helen . . . again.

I read this book thirty years ago and remain amazed it is not well known. A story set approximately twenty years after the Trojan war. Astyanax son of Hector survived the war and is recruited by the Greek gods to finish what the previous generation started - to end the Bronze Age of heroes and summon in the Iron Age of the ordinary man. A tale where gods walk the earth for a final time, where mistakes are repeated and fate cannot be escaped
