Our story begins in the barbaric country of Glome in a pre-Christian civilization. Orual is a queen whose life is coming to an end. She has nothing to lose and is emboldened to complain against the Gods.

This later on found out by Menelaus and the war eventually began. This totally differs from the epic because it was already nine years since the strife started that the story began. On the first encounter at the shore of the kingdom of Troy, Menelaus and Paris decided to settle the impending war between them since it all originated from a single woman they both desired. So the two fought and as depicted also in Iliad, Paris lost, but as he about to be killed by Menelaus, he ran off and search protection from his brother.

I did my project on Zeus who is the god of thunder and god of the sky. In fact, he is often shown holding a thunderbolt in his hand, prepared to strike down anyone who might oppose him or his brothers.

The prophet Kalchas revealed that Apollo was angered by Agamemnon's refusal to return the priest's daughter to him (Mack 71, 72). Reluctantly, Agamemnon agreed to return her to Chryses, but demanded compensation - Achilleus' war prize, the captive woman, Briseis.
