【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 mors of your beauty.For once......the gossips were right.Wele.Come, you must be tired.Look.He39。s grown.He is strong. Briseis! Paris!Beloved cousin, your beauty grows with each new moon.Briseis.A servant of Apollo now.The young men of Troy were devastated when Briseis chose the virgin robes.Father......I know this is the last thing we need.It is the will of the gods. Everything is in their hands. But I39。m surprised you let him bring her. Lf I39。d let him fight Menelaus for her......you39。d be burning a son39。s body, not weling a daughter.We could send peace envoys to Menelaus.You know Menelaus. He39。d spear their heads to his gate.What would you have me do?Put her on a ship and send her home.Women have always loved Paris, and he has loved them back.But this is different.Something has changed in him.If we send her home to Menelaus, he will follow her.This is my country, and these are my countrymen.I don39。t want to see them suffer so my brother can have his prize.It39。s not just the Spartans ing after her.By now, Menelaus has gone to Agamemnon.And Agamemnon has wanted to destroy us for years.Enemies have been attacking us for centuries. Our walls still stand.Father, we can39。t win this war.Apollo watches over us.Even Agamemnon is no match for the gods.And how many battalions does the sun god mand?Do not mock the gods.They39。re ing for me.The wind is bringing them closer.What if we left?Tonight. Right now.What if we went down to the stables, took two horses and left?Ride east, keep riding. And go where? Away from here.I could hunt deer, rabbit. I could feed us.But this is your home.You left your home for me.Sparta was never my home.My parents sent my there when I was 16 to marry Menelaus.But it was never my home.We39。ll live off the land.No more palaces for us. No more servants. We don39。t need any of that.And your family?We39。d be protecting my family. If we39。re not here, what39。s the need for war?Menelaus won39。t give up. He39。ll track us to the end of the world.He doesn39。t know these lands. I do. We can lose ourselves in a day.You don39。t know Menelaus.You don39。t know his brother.They39。ll burn every house in Troy to find us.They39。ll never believe we39。ve left.And even if they do, they39。ll burn it for spite.Then I39。ll make it easy for him to find me.I39。ll walk right up to him and tell him you39。re mine.You39。re very young, my love.Look at that.Take up your positions!My lord?Should we wait for the others? They brought us here for war. Yes, but Agamemnon39。s orders...You fight for me, Eudorus, or Agamemnon?For you, my lord.Then fight for me. And let the servants of Agamemnon fight for him.Black sail.It39。s Achilles.What39。s the fool doing?He39。s going to take the beach of Troy with 50 men?Make way there! Make way!Tecton, is the Apollonian Guard ready? Waiting at the city gates. Good. I39。ll be right there.Lysander, how long before the army is ready?Half of our men are still ing. We have to arm them... How long? Noon.Make it sooner.Patroclus!Put down your spear. I39。m fighting the Trojans. Not today.I39。m ready. You taught me how to fight.And you39。re a good student. But you39。re not a Myrmidon yet.Look at these men.They are the fiercest soldiers in all of Greece. Each of them has bled for me. Guard the ship. But this is a war.Cousin, I can39。t fight the Trojans if I39。m concerned for you. Guard the ship.Trojans!All my life, I39。ve lived by a code.And the code is simple:Honor the gods, love your woman......and defend your country.Troy is mother to us all.Fight for her!Myrmidons......my brothers of the sword.I39。d rather fight beside you than any army of thousands.Let no man forget how menacing we are.We are lions!Do you know what39。s there, waiting, beyond that beach?00:37:49Lmmortality! Take it! It39。s yours!Fight positions!Archers!Forward!The man wants to die.On my mand!Break off! Break off!Look at him.Look.Row, you lazy whores, row!Greeks are dying! Row!Those men down there need help. Now! Tecton, with me.Flank! To the flank!Achilles! Achilles!Back to the city! Back to the city!The sun god is a patron of Troy, our enemy.Take whatever treasure you can find.With your permission, my lord. Speak. Apollo sees everything.Perhaps it is not wise to offend him.Warn the men.Wait.You are very brave or very stupid to e after me alone.You must be Hector.Do you know who I am?These priests weren39。t armed.Fight me!Why kill you now, prince of Troy......with no one here to see you fall?Why did you e here?They39。ll be talking about this war for 1000 years.In 1000 years, the dust from our bones will be gone.Yes,
