Troy Reborn

By Philip Seib ’70

Published Nov. 17, 2025

As a lover of classical literature, Seib offers readers his retelling of Vergil’s Aeneid with a modern twist. Aeneid tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan refugee who fled to Italy. Seib’s novel begins at the end of the Trojan War as Aeneas is ready to start his quest. The legendary adventure also highlights many of the women who have played important roles in Aeneas’ story. Troy Reborn (Indie Author Books) spins the original epic poem to reflect on the tragedy of war, the value of women, and the inherent flaws of gods.
