Translated by Arthur S. (Arthur Sanders) Way
The Fall of Troy is an epic poem attributed to Quintus Smyrnaeus, likely composed in the mid-4th century A.D. This work serves as a continuation of the Trojan War narrative, focusing on the aftermath of Hector's death and the siege of Troy. It introduces key figures such as Penthesileia, the Amazonian queen, who enters the battle to aid the Trojans but ultimately meets her tragic end at the hands of Achilles. The poem explores themes of heroism, fate, and the duality of glory and tragedy in war.
