The pantheon of Mount Olympus is divided, and the mortal plane quakes as the gods brace themselves for a divine conflict. The most beautiful woman in the land, Queen Helen of Sparta, stolen away by Paris, Prince of Troy, now lies sequestered behind the legendary walls of Troy. Her husband and brother-in-law, Kings Menelaus and Agamemnon, driven by honour and vengeance, now marshal their Greek comrades towards an inevitable war. The tempestous waves of the Aegean Sea split before the dark prows of a thousand ships, each carrying Achaean soldiers seeking acclaim and victory upon the rugged Trojan shores. Countless Trojan spears and arrows lie in waiting, sharpened in years of preparation and bolstered by divine wills. Undeterred, the great heroes of Greece sail forth, for beyond them lies eternal glory, Elysium, and immortality.
