“Unveiling the Untold: Discover the Enigmatic Lost Sequels of The Iliad That Could Rewrite History!”
Near the end of the poem they arrived at Troy. The embarkation at Troy wasn’t peaceful, the Trojans met them on the shores and a bloody battle ensued until the Trojans were beaten back inside the city walls. The Achaeans sent a delegation, possibly Odysseus and Menelaos to demand Helen and Menelaos’ stolen goods. The Trojans tried to kill the delegation, but they managed to escape and started besieging Troy. Achilles wants to know what he’s fighting for, so his mother and Aphrodite have him meet Helen. Whatever was said during their meeting convinces Achilles to stay and he leads the Achaeans on a rampage through the Trojan countryside. He kills two of Paris’ brothers, captures and sells another into slavery, and comes face-to-face with Aeneas in his hometown of Ida. The Achaean leaders walk out with plenty of loot and slaves, including Briseis for Achilles, and Chryseis for Agamemnon. Only problem is, Chryseis’s father is a priest of Apollo, and he wants her back, setting us up for the opening scenes of the Iliad.
