The Fall Of Troy Part 1

The Fall Of Troy

An epic recitation in the style of the ancient bards recounts the final battle between allies who come to the aid of Troy to defend her from the invading Achaeans. Based on the final sequel to the Iliad, this is an account of this final battle that will decide the fate of the glorious city.

Cassandra the visionary, daughter of King Priam, sees portents of destruction in her dreams and appeals to her people to make peace, but honor, ego and the desire for eternal glory silences her voice of reason. She prays for assistance from the gods who send Penthesilea and her Amazons as well as King Memnon and his large army from Aethiopia. Battle ensues as individual duels between such champions as Achilles, Ajax and Diomedes, the Amazons Bremusa and Hecate as well as the powerful Nubian warrioress Bethesekyme are described in visceral detail as in the Iliad of Homer and other ancient epics. The story is accompanied with composed music performed on traditional instruments as well as stunning photography and images of classical art from the great museums of the world. Entertaining and informative, this is a unique experience that will transport you back in time to the courts of kings and the art of the ancient bard.
