A castaway tossed
onto a deserted beach is the last survivor of a world that no longer
exists. He has a terrible, fascinating story to tell - the true reason
for which the Trojan War was fought...
The protagonist of this tale is Diomedes, the last
of the great ancient Greek Homeric heroes, who seeks to return to his
beloved homeland after years of war against Troy. But destiny has other
plans for him. Betrayed by his wife, who plots to murder him and
persecuted by hostile gods, he has no choice but to turn his sails west,
towards Hesperia, the mysterious mist-shrouded land that will one day
be called Italy. He ventures boldly into this new world, for he carries
with him the magic Talisman of Troy, a mysterious, powerful idol that
can make the nation that possesses it invincible...
