This episode is taken from the Iliad, Homer's work, which tells of the long and difficult war between the Achaeans (or Greeks) and the Trojans, which culminated with the fall of Troy.
The Trojan War, as you well know, began after Paris, prince of Troy, kidnapped Helen, the wife of Menelaus, king of Sparta.
This act unleashed the wrath of the Achaeans, who gathered under the leadership of Agamemnon, brother of Menelaus, to besiege the city of Troy and take back Helen.
The war lasted for many years and saw many bloody battles, but the culminating moment was the wooden horse deception... But we're not there yet!
In today's episode, Zeus grants Thetis' wish and drags the Achaeans into a searing defeat...
They are only saved by nightfall!
