One of the longest epic poem ever written by the Greek poet Homer tells the harrowing tale of the ten-year siege of the city of Troy known as the Trojan War. With legendary characters like Achilles, Helen of Troy, Agamemnon and Paris with constant interventions by Greek Gods, this tale is full of blood baths, revenge, glory and fate. The war begins when Paris abducts Helen who was married to King Menelaus and the Achaeans set out to reclaim her.
