ODYSSEUS Men are haunted
by the vastness of eternity.

And so we ask ourselves...

...will our actions echo
across the centuries?

Will strangers hear our names
long after we 're gone...

...and wonder who we were...

...how bravely we fought...

...how fiercely we loved?

[M EN SHOUTI NG]

[CROWS CAWI NG]

Good day for the crows.

I told you yesterday
and I'll tell you again today.

Remove your army from my land .

I Iike your Iand .

I think we'll stay. I l ike your soldiers too.

They fought bravely yesterday.

Not well , but bravely.

They won't fight for you .

That's what the Messenians said .

And the Arcad ians and the Epeians.

Now they all fight for me.

You can't have the whole world ,
Agamemnon .

It's too big , even for you .

I don't want to watch another massacre.

Let's settle this war in the old manner.
Your best fighter against my best.

And if my man wins?

We'Il Ieave Thessaly for good .

I'm a generous man .

If mine wins,
you can keep your throne...

... but Thessaly falls
under my command ...

...to fig ht with me whenever I call .

Boagrius!

[WARRIORS CH EERI NG]

This is my man .

Achilles!

[WARRIORS CH UCKLI NG]

Boagrius has this effect on many heroes.

Careful who you insult, old king .

My king , Achilles is not with the army.

-Where is he?
-I sent a boy to look for him .

[GASPS]

I was having a good dream .

Very good dream .

King Agamemnon sent me. He needs to--

ACH I LLES:
I'll speak to your king in the morning .

But my Iord , it is morn ing .

They're waiting for you .

[G RU NTI NG]

Are the stories about you true?

They say your mother is
an immortal goddess.

They say you can't be killed .

I wouldn't be bothering
with the shield then , would l ?

The Thessalonian you're fighting ...

... he's the biggest man I've ever seen .
I wouldn't want to fight him .

That's why no one will remember
your name.

[ALL SHOUTI NG]

ALL [CHANTI NG]
Achilles! Achilles! Achilles!

Achilles! Achilles! Achilles!

Perhaps we should have our war tomorrow,
when you're better rested .

I should have you wh ipped
for your impudence!

ACH I LLES:
Perhaps you should fight him .

Achilles.

Achilles.

Look at the men's faces.
You can save hu ndreds of them .

You can end this war
with a swing of your sword .

Think how many songs they'Il sing
in your honor.

Let them go home to their wives.

I magine a king who fights his own battles.
Would n't that be a sight.

Of all the warlords loved by the gods,
I hate him the most.

We need him , my king .

For now.

M EN ELAUS: Princes of Troy,
on ou r last n ight together...

...Queen Helen and I salute you .

[WARRIORS CH EERI NG]

We've had our conflicts before, it's true.

We fought many battles, Sparta and Troy.
And fought well !

But I have always respected your father.

Priam is a good king , a good man .

I respected him as an adversary.
I respect him now as my ally.

[WARRIORS CH EERI NG]

Hector, Paris, young princes, come.
Stand .

Drink with me.

Let us d rink to peace.

To peace between Troy and Sparta .

[WARRIORS CH EERI NG]

May the gods keep the wolves in the hills
and the women in ou r beds.

[M US IC PLAYI NG]

Ah !

-For the gods.
-For the gods.

Strong arm .
Thank the gods we made peace.

I've seen too many of my men struck down
with this arm .

Never again , I hope.

M EN ELAUS: Only one man wields a sword
better than you .

H ECTOR
Achilles.

M EN ELAUS:
That mad man .

He would hurl a spear at Zeus himself.
If the god insu lted him .

[LAUGH I NG]

See that one over there?
I picked her special for you .

She's a l ittle lioness.

Thank you .
My wife waits for me in Troy.

My wife waits for me right there.

Wives are for breeding .

You understand , for making Iittle princes.
Come enjoy yourself tonig ht.

You make excellent wine in Sparta.

[WOM EN LAUG H I NG]

[WARRIORS CHATTERI NG]

You shou ldn't be here.

That's what you said last n ight.

Last night was a mistake.

And the night before?

I've made many mistakes this week.

Do you want me to go?

Yes.

Where should I go?

Away.

Far away.

[CH EERI NG]

[CROWD S I NG l NG AN D LAUGH l NG]

[M EN ELAUS LAUG H I NG]

I have something for you .

Pearls from the Sea of Propontis.

They're beautiful .

But I can't wear them .

Menelaus would kill us both .

Don't be afraid of him .

I'm not afraid of dying .

I'm afraid of tomorrow.

I'm afraid of watching you sail away
and knowing you'll never come back.

Before you came to Sparta, I was a ghost.

I walked , and I ate,
and I swam in the sea...

... but I was just a ghost.

You don't have to fear tomorrow.

Come with me.

Don't play with me. Don't play.

If you come, we'Il never be safe.

Men will hunt us, the gods will curse us.

But I'Il Iove you .

Till the day they burn my body...

... I will love you .

[MAN S I NG I NG]

Tecton .

Make the proper offerings to Poseidon
before we sail .

We don't need any more widows in Troy.

Goat or pig?

Which does the sea god prefer?

I'll wake the priest and ask him .

Paris.

We shou ld get to bed .
We won't sleep on Iand again for weeks.

I have no trouble sleeping on the seas,
brother.

Athena sings lullabies to me.

And who sang Iullabies to you ton ight?

Ton ight?

Ton ight was the fisherman's wife.

A Iovely creature.

I hope you did n't Iet the fisherman
catch you .

He was more concerned with the fish .

You do understand why we're in Sparta.

For peace.

And you u nderstand that Menelaus,
the king of Sparta, is a very powerfu l man .

And that his brother, Agamemnon ,
the king of Mycenae...

...commands all the Greek forces.

What does this have to do
with the fisherman's wife?

Paris...

...you're my brother and I Iove you .

But if you do anything
to endanger Troy...

... I will rip your pretty face
from you r pretty skull .

Now get some sleep.

We sail in the morning .

[M ETAL SCRAP l NG]

A beautiful morning .
Poseidon has blessed our voyage.

Sometimes the gods bless you in the
morning and curse you in the afternoon .

MAN
Drop sail !

Do you love me, brother?

Would you protect me
against any enemy?

The Iast time you spoke to me l ike this...

...you were 1 0 years old ,
and you'd just stolen Father's horse.

What have you done now?

I must show you something .

-Where is she?
-Who, my king?

I swear by the father of the gods,
I will gut you here if you don't tell me!

MAN
My king !

She left.

With the Trojans.

The fisherman here saw her
board their ship.

The Trojans?

With the you ng prince, Paris. She...

Get my ship ready.

Turn us rou nd . Back to Sparta.

PI LOT
H igh on the sail !

-Wait, wait.
-You fool !

-Listen to me.
-Do you know what you've done?

Do you know how many years our father
worked for peace?

-I Iove her.
-Ah !

It's all a game to you , isn't it?

You roam from town to town , bedd ing
merchants' wives and temple mates.

You think you know
someth ing about Iove.

What about your father's Iove? You spat on
him when you brought her on this ship!

What about the Iove for your cou ntry?
You'd let Troy burn for this woman?

I won't Iet you start a war for her.

May I speak?

What you're saying is true. I've wronged
you . I've wronged ou r father.

If you want to take Helen
back to Sparta, so be it.

But I go with her.

To Sparta? They'Il kill you .

Then I'Il die fighting .

Oh , and that sou nds heroic to you ,
doesn't it? To die fighting .

-Little brother, have you ever killed a man?
-No.

-Ever seen a man die in combat?
-No.

I've killed men , and I've heard them dying .
And I've watched them dying .

And there's nothing glorious about it.
Nothing poetic.

You say you want to die for love.
You know nothing about dying .

And you know noth ing about Iove!

AIl the same, l go with her.

I won't ask you to fight my war.

You already have.

To Troy!

PI LOT
About ship! Set sail !

[G UARDS SPEAKI NG I N D ISTI NCTLY]

-I want her back.
-Well , of cou rse you do.

She's a beautiful woman .

I want her back so I can kill her
with my own two hands.

I won't rest till I've burned Troy
to the ground .

I thoug ht you wanted peace with Troy.

I should have l istened to you .

Peace is for the women ...

...and the weak.

Empires are forged by war.

AIl my life, I've stood by your side,
fought your enemies.

You're the elder, you reap the glory.
This is the way of the world .

But have l ever complained?
Have I ever asked you for anything?

Never. You're a man of honor.

Everyone in Greece knows this.

The Trojans spat on my honor.

An insult to me is an insult to you .

And an insu lt to me
is an insult to all Greeks.

Will you go to war with me, brother?

AGAM EM NON I always thought my
brother's wife was a fool ish woman ...

... but she's proved to be very useful .

[CH UCKLI NG]

Nothing unifies a people
Iike a common enemy.

The Trojans have never been conquered .

Some say they can't be conquered .

OId King Priam thinks he's untouchable
behind his high walls.

He thinks the sun god will protect him .

But the gods protect only...

...the strong !

If Troy falls...

... I control the Aegean .

Hector commands the finest army
in the east.

And Troy is built to withstand
a 1 0-year siege.

There won't be a 1 0-year siege.

I'll attack them with the greatest force
the world has ever seen .

I want all the kings of Greece
and their armies.

Send emissaries in the morning .

N ESTOR
One Iast thing .

We need Achilles and h is Myrmidons.

Achilles.

He can't be controlled .
He's as l ikely to fight us as the Trojans.

We don't need to control him ,
we need to u nleash him .

That man was born to end lives.

Yes, he's a gifted killer.
But he threatens everyth ing I've bu ilt.

Before me, Greece was nothing .
I brought all the Greek kingdoms together.

I created a nation out of fire worshipers
and snake eaters!

I build the future, Nestor. Me!

Achilles is the past.

A man who fights for no flag .
A man loyal to no country.

How many battles have we won
off the edge of his sword?

This will be the greatest war
the world has ever seen .

We need the greatest warrior.

[S I GHS]

There's only one man he'll listen to.

I'll send a ship in the morning .

[EM I SSARI ES COUG H I NG AN D PANTI NG]

Greetings, brother.

We were told
King Odysseus is hid in the hills.

Odysseus?

That old bastard drinks my wine
and never pays.

You oug ht to respect your king , friend .

Respect h im?

I'd Iike to punch him in the face.

He's always pawing at my wife,
trying to tear her clothes off.

[MAN CH UCKLES]

I hope Agamemnon's generals
are smarter than his emissaries.

What did you say?

You want me
to hel p you fight the Trojans.

You're...

Are you . . . ?

[LAUGH I NG]

Forgive us, King Odysseus.

Well ...

I'm gonna miss my dog .

King Agamemnon has a favor
to ask of you .

[DOG WH I M PERS]

Of course he does.

[WOOD CLATTERI NG]

Never hesitate.

[PATROCLUS GRU NTI NG]

Fancy swordplay.

Nervous?

Petrified .

You told me never
to change sword hands.

Yes. When you know how to use it,
you won't be taking my orders.

[HORSES APPROACH l NG]

[MAN SHOUTS]

Your reputation for hospitality
is fast becoming Iegend .

[ODYSSEUS CH UCKLl NG]

Patroclus, my cousin .

Odysseus, king of lthaca.

Patroclus.

I knew your parents well .

I miss them .

Now you have this one
watching over you , eh?

Learning from Achilles himself.

Kings would kill for the honor.

Are you here at Agamemnon's bidding?

We need to talk.

I will not fight for him .

I'm not asking you to fight for him .

I'm asking you to fight for Greece.

Have the Greeks tired of fighting
each other?

-For now.
PATROCLUS For the Greeks!

The Trojans never harmed me.

They insulted Greece.

They insulted a man who couldn't hold
on to h is wife. Is that my business?

ODYSSEUS
Your business is war, my friend .

Is it? Am I the whore of the battlefield?

The man has no honor.

I won't be remembered
as a tyrant's mercenary.

Let Achilles fight for honor.
Let Agamemnon fig ht for power.

And let the gods decide
wh ich man to glorify.

Forget Agamemnon .

Fight for me.

My wife will feel much better
if she knows you're by my side.

I'll feel much better.

Is Ajax going to fight in Troy?

They say he can fell an oak tree
with one swing of the ax.

[PATROCLUS GRU NTI NG]

Trees don't swing back.

We're sending the largest fleet
that ever sailed .

A thousand ships.

PATROCLUS
A thousand ships?

Prince Hector. Is he as good a warrior
as they say?

The best of all the Trojans.

Some say he's better
than all the Greeks too.

Even if you r cousin doesn't come...

... I hope you'Il join us.
We could use a strong arm like yours.

PIay your tricks on me,
but not my cousin .

You have your swords. I have my tricks.

We play with the toys the gods give us.

We sail for Troy in three days.

This war will never be forgotten .

Nor will the heroes who fight in it.

TH ETl S: They say the king of Ithaca
has a silver tongue.

I knew they would come for you .

Long before you were born ...

... I knew they would come.

They want you to fight in Troy.

I'm making you
another seashell necklace.

Like the ones I made you
when you were a boy.

Do you remember?

Mother...

...tonight, I decide.

If you stay in Lárisa...

...you will find peace.

You will find a wonderful woman .

You will have sons and daughters,
and they will have children .

And they will love you .

When you are gone,
they will remember you .

But when you r ch ildren are dead
and their children after them ...

...your name will be Iost.

If you go to Troy...

...glory will be yours.

They will write stories about your
victories for thousands of years.

The world will remember your name.

But if you go to Troy...

...you will never come home.

For your glory walks hand in hand
with your doom .

And I shall never see you again .

You know this to be true, Mother?

I know th is.

-This is Helen .
PRIAM Helen?

Helen of Sparta?

Helen of Troy.

I've heard rumors of your beauty.

For once...

...the gossips were right.

Welcome.

Thank you , good king .

Come, you must be tired .

Look.

[H ECTOR GASPS]

He's grown .

He is strong .

He's just Iike his father.

WOMAN : Paris!
-Briseis!

Beloved cousin , your beauty grows
with each new moon .

Briseis.

A servant of Apollo now.

The young men of Troy were devastated
when Briseis chose the virg in robes.

U ncle.

PRIAM
I thank the gods for your safe return .

-For the gods.
-For the gods.

For gods.

H ECTOR
Father...

... I know this is the Iast thing we need .

It is the will of the gods.
Everything is in their hands.

-But I'm su rprised you let him bring her.
-If I'd Iet him fig ht Menelaus for her...

...you'd be burning a son's body,
not welcoming a daug hter.

We could send peace envoys
to Menelaus.

You know Menelaus.
He'd spear their heads to his gate.

What would you have me do?

Put her on a ship and send her home.

Women have always Ioved Paris,
and he has Ioved them back.

But th is is different.

Someth ing has changed in him .

If we send her home to Menelaus,
he will follow her.

H ECTOR This is my country,
and these are my countrymen .

I don't want to see them suffer
so my brother can have his prize.

It's not just the Spartans
coming after her.

By now, Menelaus has gone
to Agamemnon .

And Agamemnon has wanted
to destroy us for years.

Once we're out of the way,
he controls the seas.

Enemies have been attacking us
for centuries. Ou r walls still stand .

Father, we can't win this war.

Apollo watches over us.

Even Agamemnon is no match
for the gods.

And how many battalions
does the sun god command?

Do not mock the gods.

When you were very you ng ,
you came down with scarlet fever.

Your little hand was so hot.

The healer said
you would not Iast the night.

I went down to Apollo's temple
and I prayed until the sun came up.

That walk back to the palace
was the Iongest of my Iife.

But I went into your mother's room
and you were sleeping in her arms.

The fever had broken .

I promised that day
to ded icate my Iife to the gods.

I will not break my promise.

For 30 years I have worked for peace.
Thirty years.

Paris is a fool sometimes, I know that.

But I will fight a thousand wars
before letting him die.

Forgive me, Father,
but you won't be the one fighting .

They're coming for me.

The wind is bringing them closer.

What if we Ieft?

Ton ight. Rig ht now.

What if we went down to the stables,
took two horses and Ieft?

Ride east, keep riding .

-And go where?
-Away from here.

I could hunt deer, rabbit. I could feed us.

But th is is your home.

You left your home for me.

Sparta was never my home.

My parents sent my there when I was 1 6
to marry Menelaus.

But it was never my home.

We'Il Iive off the Iand .

No more palaces for us. No more servants.
We don't need any of that.

And your family?

We'd be protecting my family. If we're
not here, what's the need for war?

Menelaus won't give up.
He'Il track us to the end of the world .

He doesn't know these lands. I do.
We can lose ourselves in a day.

You don't know Menelaus.

You don't know his brother.

They'Il burn every house in Troy
to find us.

They'Il never believe we've Ieft.

And even if they do,
they'Il burn it for spite.

Then I'Il make it easy for him to find me.

I'll wal k right up to him
and tell him you're mine.

You're very you ng , my love.

We're the same age.

You're you nger than I ever was.

You killed Apollo's priests.

I've killed men in five countries,
never a priest.

Then your men did .

The sun god will have his vengeance.

What's he waiting for?

The right time to strike.

H is priests are dead ,
and his acolyte's a captive.

-I think your god is afraid of me.
-Afraid?

Apollo is master of the su n .
He fears noth ing .

-Where is he?
-You're nothing but a killer!

You would n't know anything

I know more about the gods
than your priests.

I've seen them .

You're royalty, aren't you?

Spent years talking down to men .

You must be royalty.

What's your name?

Even the servants of Apollo have names.

Briseis.

Are you afraid , Briseis?

Should I be?

Agamemnon requests you r presence.

The kings are gathering

You fought well today.

My lord .

What do you want here in Troy?

You didn't come for the Spartan queen .

I want what all men want.

I just want it more.

You don't need to fear me, girl .

You're the only Trojan who can say that.

[CHATTERI NG AN D SHOUTI NG]

MAN
King Triopas, my lord .

TRI OPAS You have won a great victory,
my king of kings.

No one thought the Trojan beach
could be captured so easily.

A beautiful gift, Triopas.

You will be among the first to walk
in the streets of Troy tomorrow.

My father, Neleus, had this urn made to
commemorate his victory at Cyparisseis.

I present it to you ...

... in honor of an even more
memorable victory.

AGAM EM NON
Thank you , old friend .

Tomorrow, we'll eat su pper
in the gardens of Troy.

Leave us.

War is young men dying and old men
talking . You know this.

Ignore the pol itics.

Apparently, you won some great victory.

Perhaps you didn't notice. The Trojan
beach belonged to Priam in the morning .

It belongs to Agamemnon
in the afternoon .

Have the beach .
I didn't come here for sand .

No.

You came here because you want
your name to Iast through the ages.

A great victory was won today.

But that victory is not you rs.

Kings did not kneel to Achilles.

Kings did not pay homage to Achilles.

Perhaps the kings were too far beh ind
to see. Soldiers won the battle.

H istory remembers kings!

Not soldiers.

Tomorrow, we'll batter down
the gates of Troy.

I'll build monu ments
on every island of Greece.

I'll carve "Agamemnon" in the stone.

My name will Iast through the ages.

Your name is written in sand ...

...for the waves to wash away.

Be careful , king of kings.
First, you need the victory.

Your men sacked the temple
of Apollo, yes?

You want gold? Take it.

It's my gift to honor your courage.
Take what you wish .

I already have.

Aphareus!

Haemon !

[BRISE IS WH I M PERI NG]

No argument with you , but if you don't
release her, you'll never see home again .

-Decide.
-Guards!

Stop!

Too many people have died today.

If killing is your only talent,
that's you r curse.

I don't want anyone dying for me.

M ighty Achilles, silenced by a slave girl .

Ton ight, l 'Il have her give me a bath .

And then ...

-...who knows?
-You sack of wine!

Before my time is done, I will Iook

GLAUCUS If they want a war,
we will give them a war.

I would match the best of Troy
against the best of Greece any day.

The best of Greece outnumber
the best of Troy two to one.

So, what do you suggest?

We surrender ou r city?

We allow the Greeks to slaughter our men?
Rape our wives?

VELIOR
I suggest diplomacy.

The Greeks came here for one thing .

Let's be honest, my friends.
Trojans are now burning on the pyre...

... because of one youthful indiscretion .

[M EN M U RM U RI NG]

GIaucus.

You have fought with me for 40 years.
Can we win this war?

Our walls have never been breached .

We have the finest archers in the world .

And we have Hector...

...whose men would fig ht
the shades of Tartarus if he commanded .

Yes, we can win .

[M EN SHOUTI NG]

I spoke with two farmers today.

They saw an eagle flying
with a serpent clutched in its talons.

This is a sign from Apollo.

We will win a great victory tomorrow.

Bird signs.

You want to plan a strategy
based on bird signs.

PRIAM
Hector, show respect.

When Archeptolemus prophesied
four years of drought we dug deeper wells.

The drought came
and we had water to drink.

The high priest is a servant of the gods.

And I am a servant of Troy.

I've always honored the gods, Father.
You know that.

But today I fought a Greek
who desecrated the statue of Apollo.

Apollo didn't strike the man down .

The gods won't fig ht this war for us.

There won't be a war.

[M EN M U RM U RI NG]

This is not a conflict of nations.

It is a dispute between two men .

I don't want to see another Trojan d ie
because of me.

Paris.

Tomorrow morning , I will challenge
Menelaus for the right to Helen .

The winner will take her home.
The Ioser will burn before nightfall .

Does he have a chance?

PARIS
Father...

... I'm sorry for the pain l 've caused you .

PRIAM
Do you love her?

You are a great king because you love
your country so much .

Every blade of grass.

Every grain of sand .

Every rock in the river.

You love all of Troy.

That is the way I love Helen .

PRIAM
I've fought many wars in my time.

Some were fought for Iand ,
some for power, some for glory.

I suppose fig hting for Iove makes
more sense than all the rest.

But I won't be the one fighting .

The sword of Troy.

My father carried this sword ,
and his father before him ...

...all the way back
to the founding of Troy.

The history of our people
was written with this sword .

Carry it with you tomorrow.

The spirit of Troy is in that sword .

So long as a Trojan carries it...

...our people have a future.

The man who killed Tecton
outside Apollo's temple...

... I've never seen a spear
thrown like that.

An impossible throw.

Don't go tomorrow.

-Please don't go.
-Paris fights tomorrow, not me.

Fifty thousand Greeks d id n't cross the sea
to watch your brother fight. You know th is.

You'd make a fine general , my Iove.

You've been fig hting your whole life.
Let other men do battle this time.

You know I don't want to fig ht.
I want to see my son grow tall .

I want to see the girls chasing after him .

Just Iike they chased his father.

He's much more handsome
than I ever was.

I must see Paris.

-Let me go.
-No.

[H ELEN SOBBI NG]

I saw them burn .

I saw them burning on the pyres.

That's my fault.

It is. You know it is.

AIl those widows.

I still hear them screaming .

Their husbands d ied because I'm here.

I'm going down to the ships.

No, you're not.

I'm giving myself back to Menelaus.

He can do what he wants.

Kill me, make me his slave, l don't care.

Anything is better than this.

It's too late for that.

Do you think Agamemnon cares
about his brother's marriage?

This is about power. Not Iove.

Paris is going to fight in the morning .

-Yes.
-Menelaus will kill h im .

I won't Iet that happen .

-It's his decision .
-No.

I can't ask anyone to fig ht for me.

I'm no Ionger queen of Sparta.

You're a princess of Troy now...

...and my brother needs you tonight.

[M EN SHOUTI NG]

EU DORUS
My lord .

The army is marching .

Let them march . We stay.

But the men are ready.

We stay till Agamemnon groans
to have Achilles back.

As you wish .

Are you ready to fight?

I am .

Are you ready to kill? To take life?

At night, I see their faces,
all the men I've killed .

They're standing there on the far bank
of the River Styx.

They're waiting for me.

They say, "Welcome, brother. "

We men are wretched things.

I taught you how to fight,
but I never taught you why to fight.

I fight for you .

Who will you fig ht for when I'm gone?

Soldiers, they fight for kings
they've never even met.

They do what they're told ,
die when they're told to.

Soldiers obey.

Don't waste you r life following
some fool's orders.

Go.

Are you sure you want to do this?

I started this war.

Helen ...

...sit with me.

AIl my life I have prayed against this day.

Yes, my king .

Call me Father, dear child .

Forgive me, Father...

...for bringing this.

I blame you for nothing .

Everything is in the hands of the gods.

for fall ing in love with Paris?

You come here u ninvited .
Go back to your ships and go home.

We've come too far, Prince Hector.

What son of a king would accept
a man's hospital ity...

his wife in the middle of the night?

The sun was shining
when your wife Ieft you .

She's up there, watching ,
isn't she? Good .

I want her to watch you die.

Not yet, brother.

Look around you , Hector.

I brought all the warriors of Greece
to your shores.

You can still save Troy, young prince.

I have two wishes.

If you grant them ,
no more of your people need die.

First, you must give Helen
back to my brother.

Second , Troy must submit
to my command ...

...to fig ht for me whenever I call .

You want me to Iook u pon your army

Well , I see them .

I see 50,000 men brought here
to fight for one man's greed .

Careful , boy.

My mercy has Iimits.

And I've seen the limits of your mercy.

And I tell you now, no son of Troy
will ever submit to a foreign ruler.

Then every son of Troy shall die.

There is another way.

I Iove Helen . I won't give her up
and neither will you .

So let us fight our own battle.

The winner takes Helen home.
And let that be the end of it.

A brave offer, but not enough .

Let me kill this little peacock.

I didn't come here for your pretty wife.
I came here for Troy.

I came for my honor.

To protect Greece, not your pride.

The gods envy us.

The world seems simple to you ,

very few choices are simple.

But if we attack their ships,
we will un ify them .

If they decide to attack us, Iet them .

Our walls can't be breached .
We'Il beat them back again .

Yesterday, the Greeks u nderestimated us.

We shou ld not return the favor.

You're confident about the meaning

You've been a loyal friend all your Iife.

I hope I never disappoint you again .

It's I who have been the disappointment.

Rouse the men . You're taking them home.

Aren't you coming with us?

Don't go too close, my king .

This is the will of the gods.

They desecrated the temple of Apollo...

...and Apollo desecrated their flesh .

They thought they could come here
and sack our city in a day.

Now look at them ,
fleeing across the Aegean .

PRIAM
What is this?

ARCH EPTOLEM US:
An offering to Poseidon .

The Greeks are praying
for a safe return home.

GLAUCUS
I hope the sea god spits in their offering .

Lets them all drown
at the bottom of the sea.

This is a gift. We should take it
to the temple of Poseidon .

-I think we should burn it.
VELIOR Burn it?

My prince, it's a g ift to the gods.

The prince is right.

I would burn the whole of Greece
if I had a big enough torch .

ARCH EPTOLEM US: I warn you , good men ,
be careful what you insu lt.

Our beloved Prince Hector
had sharp words for the gods...

...and a day Iater
Achilles' sword cut h im down .

Father, burn it.

Forgive me, my king ,
I mean no disrespect...

... but I don't want to see
any more sons of Troy...

I will not watch another son d ie.
