Story Overview

Ruled by the peace-seeking king Menelaus, Sparta stands as one of the powerful city-states of Greece. Despite the objections of his ambitious brother Agamemnon, Menelaus chooses diplomacy over war and agrees to a fragile peace with the city of Troy, hoping to end years of bloodshed between the rival powers.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Trojan king Priam sends his sons Hector and Paris to Sparta as emissaries of peace. While Hector engages in political negotiations, he remains unaware that his younger brother Paris has begun a forbidden love affair with Sparta’s queen, Helen of Troy.

For the charming and impulsive Paris, this love is unlike anything he has ever known. Convinced that Helen is his destiny, he secretly takes her with him as he returns to Troy, betraying the trust established between the two kingdoms.

Helen’s escape with Paris ignites Menelaus’ fury. Though once committed to peace, he turns to his brother Agamemnon, who sees the betrayal as the perfect excuse to launch a full-scale invasion. While Menelaus seeks to reclaim his honor and his wife, Agamemnon pursues a far greater ambition: absolute dominance over the Aegean world.

Thus begins the legendary Trojan War, a conflict driven by love, pride, revenge, and the hunger for power—where heroes will rise, empires will fall, and history will be written in blood.
