The Great Greek Myths

After a golden apple inscribed "for the fairest" is sent to a feast at Olympus, Zeus can't decide between the goddesses Aphrodite, Hera and Athena, so he lets a mortal choose.

All of the Greek kings respond to Agamemnon's call to arms except two: Odysseus and Achilles.

A decade after the Greek invasion, Troy still has not fallen; King Priam's oldest son, Hector, reproaches his brother Paris for causing a war with no end.

Agamemnon dreams Troy will be taken today; Helen's husband Menelaus recognises Paris and they duel.

The chaos reigning between Greeks and Trojans spreads to Mount Olympus; the Trojans drive the Greeks back on the battlefield.

Odysseus and Ajax try to convince Achilles to return to battle, but the Greek warrior rejects their appeals; Agamemnon, Diomedes and Odysseus are injured in combat one after the other.
