Troy

In the year 1250 B.C., during the final years of the Bronze Age, the eastern Mediterranean witnessed the beginning of one of the most legendary conflicts in history: the Trojan War. This confrontation not only shaped the fate of two emerging powers, Greece and Troy, but also left an indelible mark on Western mythology and literature.

It all began with a tale of forbidden love. Paris, a Trojan prince known for both his beauty and impulsiveness, visits Sparta and falls madly in love with Helen, the Spartan queen, considered the most beautiful woman in the world. Regardless of the consequences, Paris convinces her to abandon her husband, King Menelaus, and flee with him to Troy. This act of betrayal not only wounds Menelaus’s pride but also becomes the spark that ignites a war of epic proportions.

Upon learning of the outrage, Menelaus turns to his brother Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and one of the most powerful monarchs of the time. While his initial intent appears to be helping his brother reclaim his wife, Agamemnon sees in this crisis an opportunity to consolidate his power and influence over the other Greek city-states. He therefore calls upon a coalition of Greek kingdoms under his command to launch an unprecedented military campaign.
