The Iliad of Ba Sing Se

by historyman17

AU.Hers was the face that launched a thousand ships. This will be the greatest war the world has ever seen, it needs it's greatest warrior. Yet that is not the reason why he goes to war. He goes because deep down he knows that this will be his last. He will do it for his blood, friends, his immortality, but what he didn't know is that he would do it for love. Better summary inside.

1. Chapter 1

AN: Well while the times move on I think it's time to add another story to the mix. This is a story about one of my favorite books 'The Iliad of Homer' also one of my favorite movie 'Troy' in the Avatar Universe. Warning this will contain blood, violence and Zutara so those who aren't a fan of that ship don't read it for that; read it for the action and drama of a war that lasted ten years. I will try my best to keep it true to both the poem and the movie as best as I can. I had to create some new positions for some of the characters but most of them will be in it.

Also so you all know there is no bending in this story, also no tanks, or air machines (let's keep it fair). It will all be swords, arrows and whatever else they had. Also Zuko, Azula, and Iroh are not related to Ozai for future reference; and he's not married to Ursa. With that here's the list of who will be playing what.

Characters equivalent to the film/story

Achilles - Zuko

Agamemnon - Ozai

Menelaus - Zhao

Helen - Jin

Hector – Jet

Paris - Lee

Odysseus - Sokka

Patroclus – Lu Ten

Briseis - Katara

Priam – King Kuei

Thetis - Ursa

Eudorus – Jee

Briseis handmaiden – Toph

Achilles monk/advisor - Aang

Myrmidons - 'Spirits of the damned'

AN: Next chapter will be the background for our story. Then the chapter after that will be the actual story beginning from fight that was in the opening to Troy. Hopefully you all enjoy thanks.
