Posthomerica: The Fall of Troy (Illustrated Edition)

Quintus Smyrnaeus was a Greek epic poet whose epic poem Posthomerica continues the narration of the Trojan War after Homer’s famous Iliad.
The dates of Smyrnaeus's life are controversial, but they are traditionally placed in the latter part of the 4th century."Some scholars suggest an earlier date in the 3rd or even the 2nd century, arguing that his Posthomerica shows an influence from the "Second Sophistic", the school of Greek orators who flourished in the 1st and 2nd centuries. According to his own account (xii. 310), he began composing poetry in his early youth while tending sheep near Smyrna. 
His epic poem Posthomerica covers the period between the end of Homer's Iliad and the end of the Trojan War. Its primary importance is as the earliest surviving work to cover this period, the archaic works in the Epic Cycle, which he knew and drew upon, having long since been lost.
This edition is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and depictions of the Trojan War.
