Introduction

Troy: Fall of a City is a British-American miniseries based on the Trojan War and the love affair between Paris and Helen.

The show tells the story of the 10-year siege of Troy, set in the 13th century BC.

It is not an adaption of Homer’s Iliad or Odyssey but rather an original take on the Greek myths, and covers some ground only alluded to in those works.

Outline

The Spartans begin their embargo to starve Troy of supplies and Paris joins the workmen digging to find water before setting out with Hector and a group to get help. One of the men is captured and killed after telling Menelaus that Helen has married Paris. Hector and Paris reach a prospective ally who tells Hector he must kill Paris but the gods intervene and the pair return to Troy. Helen endears herself to the Trojans by giving the citizens her food but still faces mistrust and lustfulness from certain quarters.
