Troy

About the show

At the wedding of Thetis and Peleus, Paris falls in love with Helen, wife of Menelaus, and brings her to Troy. Menelaus and Agamemnon prepare a Greek assault; after negotiations fail, Achilles kills Hector, though the Greeks cannot breach Troy’s walls. Later the Greeks are defeated and captured, but Priam releases the prisoners. The Trojans bring a wooden horse inside the city and celebrate their victory. At night Greek soldiers emerge from the horse, open the gates, and sack Troy. Paris kills Achilles with an arrow, while Agamemnon kills Priam; Paris, Helen, and a few nobles escape.
