Extra Mythology

Ah, the myth that launched a thousand ships. The apple thrown into the middle of a greek banquet would ruin lives and lay waste to entire kingdoms. We set the stage for Helen and Paris, two lovers who were not meant to be, and why so many kingdoms would unite to keep the two of them apart. Agamemnon, Achilles, Paris, Odysseus, and fair Helen are all here, and a war is about to begin.

The Greeks learn that kidnapping the daughter of a priest to a god of plague is maybe not the best decision. But if Agamemnon lets her go, then how is everyone supposed to know that he is the best king who deserves a prize? So Agamemnon decides that if he has to let Chryseis go, then he'll have Achilleus' prize, Briseis. Which Achilleus does not appreciate. And he is also related to the gods. This will all be handled maturely and with no bloodshed whatsoever.

Gods and goddesses join the fray and continue to drive the tides of war. Paris tries to end the bloody battle in a single one on one fight but it isn't meant to be. Ares and Aphrodite side with the Trojans, Hera and Athena support the Achaeans. Zeus would just like everyone to please stop. And where is Achilles???

So here we stand at the end, the Trojans have pushed back the Acheans. Achilles is nowhere to be seen and Agamemnon tries to find some way to convince him to join the battle. Zeus, tired of the gods ignoring the rule to not intervene, decides to let all the gods intervene. And as someone in Achilles' armor arrives on the battlefield, Hector will make a deadly decision.
