The city-state of Sparta invited the princes of the city-state of Troy to have a dinner. The little prince of Troy fell in love with the Spartan princess, the beautiful Helen, and brought Helen back to the city-state of Troy, causing the war between Sparta and Troy. The king of Sparta asked the god of war Achilles to help. After Sparta attacked Troy, they stole the priestess of Troy (the little prince's cousin), during which Achilles fell in love with her. One day, Achilles' cousin Padrox secretly put on Achilles' armor and sword to face the Trojans, but was killed by the Trojan prince. To take revenge, he drove a chariot to the Troy city wall to fight with the prince, and finally killed the prince and dragged his body away. In order to get back the body of his son, the king of Troy sneaked into Achilles' army camp at night and asked Achilles to return the body of the prince. Achilles was moved by the king and handed over the prince's body. According to the funeral custom at that time, he would not attack Troy for twelve days, and he also asked the priestess to return. Twelve days later, a huge wooden horse appeared outside the city gate of Troy. The king thought it was a gift from God and dragged it into the city. As a result, it was never expected that the Spartan warriors were hidden in the Trojan horse. At night, the warriors slipped out quietly, caught the Trojans by surprise, and set fire to the city of Troy. Arroius was desperately searching for the priestess in the city. When he found the priestess, he was shot in the ankle by the little prince of Troy with an arrow, and then was shot in the heart several times by the arrow. Achilles dies, the play ends.

    Hector: If I die I don't know how much longer Troy will stand.

  • Achilles: At night I see their faces. All the men I've killed. They're standing there on the far bank of the river Styx. They're waiting for me. They say, 'Welcome, brother'.
