Odysseus, who had been planning to kill the prophet Calchas, finally found an opportunity because the prophet offended the leader of the heroes, Agamemnon, the king of kings.
Not long ago, Chryses, the priest of Apollo, came to the Greek army, apologized to Agamemnon, and begged Agamemnon to release his daughter Chryses, expressing his willingness to pay a large ransom.
Because back on the island where Apollo was worshiped, she rebuked them in front of all the heroes that this was a wrong conquest and that they would surely suffer the consequences of failure.
In anger, Agamemnon, the king of kings, wounded her directly, and then captured her daughter and made her a slave with another priestess. Her beautiful daughter became Agamemnon's slave girl for nine years.
When she came with gold and gems to redeem her daughter, all the heroes were moved, except Agamemnon who refused and scolded Chryses away. Chryses, who felt sorry for his daughter, had no choice but to complain to Apollo, so Apollo used his medical priesthood to inflict plague on the Greek army.
On the tenth day, in the military meeting, the heroes asked Calchas to reveal why the god was angry. Calchas thought he was protected by all the heroes, so he told the truth and asked Agamemnon to return Chrysei. Si, the daughter of the priestess Chryses.
Agamemnon was furious, but in full view of the crowd he had to comply, but he demanded more ransom to give up the share of Achilles, Odysseus and Ajax.
Achilles threatened to go home and stop participating in the war, but Agamemnon even said that since Achilles wanted to go back, he would bring his slave girl Briseis. This slave girl was also captured on the island dedicated to Apollo, but she was not eligible for redemption, and Achilles liked this slave girl very much.
Achilles was so angry that he raised his sword to kill Agamemnon. Fortunately, Hera sent the goddess of wisdom Athena, who had been paying attention to everything about the Greek coalition and quickly stopped him, because these two heroes were extremely important to the Greek coalition.
Seeing that Achilles had been stubborn, Athena told Achilles that Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, would soon pay the price for his arrogance, so Achilles angrily and My friend Patroclus went back to his tent.
Odysseus accepted the task of taking Chryses to the city of Etiion to return Chryses, but he asked the prophet to go with him.
The prophet had not wanted to go because he sensed that he would be in great danger if he went with Odysseus.
However, both Odysseus, the wise man of the heroes, and Agamemnon, the leader, asked him to go together. With no other choice, the prophet had no choice but to go with him.
Before leaving, he said to the heroes: "If I don't come back this time, I will be killed by Odysseus."
Odysseus was furious and said that if he killed the prophet, he would not be able to come back.
In this way, the two heroes, who were at odds with each other, left the military camp together.
When Odysseus left, Agamemnon actually sent heralds Tartibias and Eurybates to fetch Achilles' slave girl Briseis. Achilles knew everything. It was just Agamemnon's idea, so he asked Odysseus to take his beloved slave girl away and return them to the city of Etion. And he decided that from this day on, he would stay in the tent and not participate in any war.
After Odysseus and the prophet Calchas arrived at the territory of the Trojan coalition, he saw an acquaintance, Chiron's disciple Jason. So, while the prophet Calchas was not paying attention, he secretly discussed with Jason to let the prophet lose his life.
On their way back, they met Amazon Queen Penthesilea, who happened to come to Troy to help out. She led twelve carefully selected female warriors, and happened to meet Odysseus and the prophet.
They directly ignored that Odysseus and the prophet Calchas were returning the priests of the God of Light, and directly went to war with these two heroes. In the end, the prophet Calchas died in battle, and Odysseus fled back to the Trojan camp.
No one noticed a detail. When the Amazon Queen Penthesilea was on the road, she had a very happy conversation with the witch Medea and even drank a lot of Medea's wine.
Poor prophet Calchas, he obeyed the will of the God King Zeus, coerced the will of the heroes, and got Achilles and Odysseus into the Greek coalition, hoping to take the opportunity to kill them. .
However, Odysseus avoided his trick, and Achilles only fell out with Agamemnon, his coach. But he himself, a disciple of Teiresias, the god of prophecy, died outside the military camp.
When the injured Odysseus escaped back, several decision-making kings in Greece learned the truth of the matter. Agamemnon decided to launch the most violent attack on Troy to avenge the prophet Calchas.
But Adros persuaded Agamemnon and the kings to first test the reactions of many heroes and soldiers, especially the attitudes of many gods towards their attack on Troy. Because only if the gods are willing to support them can they achieve final victory.
After hearing this, Agamemnon immediately summoned all the soldiers and heroes. He tested everyone's intentions in the square and announced to everyone that he was going home. Everyone was overjoyed and pushed the boat to the seaside, preparing to start returning to Greece.
When Queen Hera learned the news, she sent Athena to sternly tell Odysseus to stop everyone. Odysseus immediately took Agamemnon's scepter, which symbolized the highest power, and ordered everyone to return to the square. Finally, everyone filed back into the square, and the noise returned to calm.
Only Thersites continued to shout. He stood up bravely and opposed the continuation of the fighting. He was especially opposed to Agamemnon and Achilles. In the square, he insulted Agamemnon for being selfish and courageous.
Odysseus came up to him and warned him to shut up, but he did not stop cursing, and finally Odysseus beat Thersites to death with his scepter. He re-energized the Greeks, and after offering sacrifices to Zeus, the army attacked the city of Troy.
The two goddesses Hera and Athena both knew about the relationship between Odysseus and Sisyphus, but they did not mind. As long as Odysseus could help Greece defeat Troy, they could also help him escape from Zeus. .
For them, teaching Troy a lesson is already their main purpose. They still remember how Trojan Prince Paris made them laugh at Aphrodite in order to please Aphrodite at the wedding attended by all the gods.
Iris, the messenger of the gods, took the form of Polytes, the son of King Priam of Troy, and informed the Trojans of the approaching Greek army. The Trojan army lined up and walked out of the city. When the two armies faced off, Paris He came out and signaled for a duel with Menelaos. Menelaos became excited because he could finally take revenge with his own hands.
His wife, Helen, the most beautiful pearl in the world, was abducted by the shameless Trojan prince in front of him, causing him to suffer humiliation. Now, he finally had the opportunity to wash away the humiliation he had suffered in front of the world.
When Paris saw Menelaus's excitement, he was so afraid that he cowered next to his friend. His Hector scolded him for being a coward and accused him of being the culprit of the war.
Paris bravely fought, and both armies stopped to calm down. At this time, Menelaos asked Priam to witness the duel, and the goddess Iris transformed into the daughter of Priam's daughter Laodice. He asked Helen to climb up to the tower of the Scaia Gate to watch the battle.
Trojan King Priam, Agamemnon, Odysseus and others made sacrifices to the gods and returned to the tower after swearing to abide by the treaty. He could not bear to see the death of either party at close range.
At the beginning of the duel, Paris threw a spear at Menelaus first. His spear hit Menelaos' shield but did not pass through it. When Menelaus threw the spear, the spear passed through Paris. Reese's shield and armor, Paris reacted quickly and jumped aside to be saved.
Menelaos attacked with his sword, but the force was too strong and the sword broke into four sections. Menelaos grabbed Paris with his bare hands and dragged Paris into the Greek army. Paris was suffocated.
Medea, who was watching the battle at the side, was entrusted by Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, to save Paris once. So, she rushed to help the defeated Paris. She cut off Paris' helmet strap, leaving Menelaus with only one helmet in his hand, and covered Menelaus with thick fog, waiting for an opportunity to kill Paris. Photographed back to the city. Menelaos was furious, and Agamemnon declared Menelaos' victory and demanded that the Trojans hand over war criminals and offer gifts, but received no response.
At this time, Zeus sent Athena to provoke the Trojans to break the treaty. Athena transformed into Antenor's son Laodokos and walked up to Pandaros and persuaded him to shoot Menelaos to death with an arrow. Pandros fired the arrow. However, Athena deliberately let the arrow only hit Menelaos' skin without causing any serious harm. Macaon, the doctor of the Greek army, sprinkled powder on the wound, and the Trojan army took the opportunity to attack.
The Greek army was commanded by Athena, but the Trojan army was commanded by Ares, the god of war. The Greeks were unstoppable. Ares told the Trojans that Achilles was not in the Greek army, and the goddess Athena specially helped Dio. Seeing the power of Medes, Pandarus fired an arrow at Diomedes. Although the arrow hit Diomedes, it did not hurt Diomedes' life. Pandaros thought Diomedes was dead, but unexpectedly Diomedes Si had called another hero Sternelos to come to him to draw the arrow, and asked Athena to avenge him.
During the battle, Trepolemus of the Greek army was stabbed to death with a spear by Sarpedon, son of Zeus. Sarpedon was also dragged away with a waist injury. When Hera and Athena saw this, the goddess Athena transformed into the hero Stentor to encourage the Greeks, and told Diomedes not to be afraid of attacking the gods, and advised him to attack Ares.
Athena took advantage of Ares to kill the hero Periphas, so that Ares could not see her, and she and Diomedes walked near him and attacked Ares. Ares was injured. After being seriously injured, he went back to Zeus to complain. Zeus sent the miracle doctor Pyon to cure Ares and persuaded Ares to return to the battlefield.
No matter what, this battle must go on. Assigning Ares and Athena as the coaches of both sides can maximize the damage to the demigod heroes on their side.
Hector returned to the city and hurried to the palace. In the palace, he met his mother Hecuba. He told her to quickly gather the women of Troy to sacrifice to Athena to stop the mad Dio. Medes, after getting Hecuba's consent, went to Paris again. He saw that Paris only condemned him when he checked his weapons. He was not nervous at all. The beautiful Helen also condemned him. Paris said that he Preparing for battle, Hector did not stay for a moment and went to find his wife Andromache. He found his wife and son Astyanax at the city gate.
Andromache was afraid that his husband would die on the battlefield, so he persuaded Hector not to go to the battlefield. Hector disagreed, so he went out to fight through the Scaia Gate and caught up with Paris who had just entered the battlefield. , their appearance boosted the Trojans' morale. Together with Glaucus, they killed many Greek heroes. The goddess Athena wanted to help the Greeks, but she just ran into the sun god Apollo who was helping the Trojans.
After Apollo and Athena discussed it, the two gods decided to have a truce and let the most famous heroes of Troy and Greece fight one-on-one to end the battle between the demigods as soon as possible and choose the suitable master of the constellation.
On the battlefield, both armies temporarily ceased fighting. Only Hector called for formation, and no one from the Greek army dared to fight. Behind him, there were also a large number of people including Queen Amazon, Paris, Medea, Atalanta, and Jason. A hero on Troy's side.
Menelaos was very angry and would rather fight by himself. Agamemnon stopped him, because challenging Hector alone was something that even Achilles was not confident of winning. The elder Nestor taught Greece a lesson heroes, saying that they were cowards without Achilles.
At this time, there were nine people who were willing to fight Hector, namely Agamemnon, Diomedes, Ajax the Great, Ajax the Younger, Idomeneus, Meriones, and Eugenius. Pyrrhus, Thoas and Odysseus. Ajax was chosen to fight, and he came out very happy. At this time, Hector was also a little timid.
The battle begins. Hector threw his spear first, but was blocked by Ajax's shield. His shield had seven layers, but only six were pierced. Ajax's spear passed through Hector's shield and armor, but the tip of the spear missed Hector.
The two heroes picked up their spears and fought again. Ajax once again pierced Hector's shield and stabbed his neck. Then Ajax picked up a big stone and threw it at Hector, hurting him this time. Hector's feet.
However, the injured Hector became more and more courageous as he fought, and was not affected by the injury at all. He exchanged injuries for injuries, which made Ajax lose his glory. However, at the critical moment, the herald arrived and stopped the war to avoid both sides being harmed. The two recognized heroes and exchanged belts as a souvenir.
Afterwards, Zeus got tired of it and ordered all the demigod heroes and monsters on both sides to stand up and let them fight together until only the last hundred survived.
Because he found that with more people on his side, he should have a big advantage.
As a result, the battlefield was cleared, and the heroes from both sides took the stage. Even Achilles, who had made up his mind not to appear, hurried over after hearing that there was such a battle.
Not only him, many heroes who did not join the war also came from afar to prepare to participate in this battle. This battle was passed down to later generations and is known as the beginning of the Colosseum.
