Judith Starkston is a classicist as well as a novelist. Dhe is drawn to the places where archaeology, history, and myth cease to agree with one another and imagination must take over. In Achilles’s Wife, part of her Trojan Thread series, she turns her attention to Deidameia, a princess remembered by antiquity largely because Achilles happened to pass through her life.
