Overview
Los dioses libran sus batallas usando a los humanos como peones. Los hombres luchan contra el destino en una batalla que saben perdida. La furia, el amor, la gloria y la derrota: todo está en Troya.
Paris, príncipe troyano, rapta a Helena, la mujer más hermosa del mundo, y se la lleva a su ciudad. Menelao, rey de Esparta y marido de Helena, se lo toma a mal y, con la ayuda de otros príncipes griegos, se dispone a asaltar Troya para recuperar a su esposa. Empieza así la guerra más famosa de la historia, en la cual héroes como Aquiles, por parte griega, y Héctor, por parte troyana, podrán dar muestras de su inigualable valor. Pero solo la astucia de Ulises podrá poner término, al cabo de diez años, al sangriento conflicto.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The gods wage their battles using humans as pawns. Men fight against fate in a battle they know is lost. Rage, love, glory, and defeat: it’s all in Troy.
Paris, prince of Troy, abducts Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, and takes her to his city. Menelaus, king of Sparta and Helen’s husband, takes it badly and, with the help of other Greek princes, he sets out to attack Troy to reclaim his wife. Thus begins the most famous war in history, in which heroes such as Achilles, on the Greek side, and Hector, on the Trojan side, will demonstrate their unparalleled courage. But only the cunning of Odysseus will be able to bring an end, after ten years, to the bloody conflict.
