The Other Warriors
Chapter 1: Prologue
In ages passed and ages to come the story of Troy has long since been told. But over time the history became a legend, the legend became a myth and the myth became a story. And the story now is far from the original.
Paris of Troy of course did steal Helen of Sparta and set of the Greatest war of all time, but this is where everything you thought you knew becomes something you never thought you didn't.
Raked with guilt Paris did challenge the King of Sparta to a fight to the death, and won. Not cowering to his brother as so many have said before. Some say that his love made him change his ways and learn the ways of war, but that is another story for another time.
Hector tamer of horses led the Trojan army to war but never slayed the cousin of Achilles. Instead forged an alliance with Achilles and his Myrmidons. Although legend remembers his brave wife Andromache, she never lived to see the Great War. Baring the burden of child labor was too great and claimed her life. Leaving behind a child, a husband and a lover. Yes the love that was Hector and Andromache was never so. She was in love with one of the palace guards that had come with her from Thebes.
Another love that never existed was that of the Great Achilles and the Priestess Briseis. She was created to give a weakness to seemingly immortal warrior. As it was never told that he did have a heart and needed no woman to prove that. He did so by ending the life of Agamemnon King of Greece and ending the Great War. Some called him a traitor others a hero, but all called him one of the Greatest Warriors in History.
Yet all through Greek legends, two Warriors have been erased from history. Great they were and Great they shall remain. This is their story...........
