During the late Bronze Age, around the year 1250 B.C., two new nations come into conflict with one another. Helen, Queen of Sparta, is persuaded by Paris, the Trojan prince, to divorce her husband Menelaus and sail with him back to Troy. Menelaus is killed in the process. When Menelaus learns that the Trojans have abducted his wife, he turns to his brother Agamemnon for assistance in rescuing her. Agamemnon recognizes this as a window of opportunity to consolidate his dominance. They embarked on their journey to Troy with a fleet of 1,000 ships carrying a total of 50,000 Greeks. The Greeks are successful in their battle against the Trojans, who had never been beaten before, thanks to Achilles.
