This book is dedicated to the prehistory of the Trojan War. This historical fiction is based on ancient myths and describes the events that took place in the fifty-year period preceding the campaign of Achaeans on Ilion. The book consists of five parts. The first part is devoted to the capture of Ilion by Hercules and the enthronement of King Priam. The second describes the adventures of Agamemnon in exile from the moment of the death of his father, King Atreus. The third reflects the accession of Agamemnon in Mycenae and his actions to strengthen the royal power up to his marriage to the daughter of the king of Sparta. The fourth part describes the period from the wedding of Helen and Menelaus to the abduction of Helen by Paris. The fifth part is devoted to the preparation of an assault on Troy up to the gathering of the Achaeans in Aulis. The book reflects such mythological themes as the Calydonian hunt, the Theban campaigns of the Argives, the Oedipus cycle and Eriphyla's necklace, and the last years of Theseus and others. All events, names of heroes, and geographic names are taken from ancient sources. The interpretation of the motives of the characters' actions is the fruit of the author's inspiration.
