So we've heard stories from around the world that pertained to certain cultures and/or religions. Some explain some crazy phenomenon, others explain how some things came to be. 
And the fact not many people now this is sort of shocking seeing how many myths and legends are the inspiration of so many things we love... and the source of many tropes.
So this book is dedicated to spreading that knowledge. 
Far warning though, because many these myths and legends were passed down through oral tradition, there may be a version of the story that's different from a version you may know. I do requests and it doesn't have to be just Greek. I'll do Norse, Egyptian, well any story.

Disclaimer: I do not claim to be an expert in historical characters, peoples, times, places, languages, & settings, nor does this have any historical relevance; I'm just a writer, retelling the story of the Trojan War in a biblical light. It's still a work in progress, so I will continue to write & correct my writing & any errors I made along the way. Inspired by Greek Roman & European legends, historical army formations, remixed with biblical themes, & an original vision of mine I have. Come & experience a retelling of the Trojan War in a Christian biblical light manner & POV, while keeping in touch with some of what was written in Homer's Iliad, Odyssey, Virgil's Aeneid, & other ancient writings, changing what was originally there, & adding biblical ideas to the story of the Trojan War. The story follows Priam's desperation for the wife he loves Hecuba to have a child. After hearing about Israel's Conquest of the land of Canaan & rumors spreading about their God amongst the commanders officers, he willingly sets out on a diplomatic mission to bring to the tribes of Israel gifts, going to Kedesh-Naphtali Priam comes into conflict with Sisera a Canaanite commander of 10,000 Canaanites & 900 chariots, meets Barak of Ephraim before he became a commander, & the prophet Deborah who led Israel at the time. The story continues on with the birth of Paris & how he came to be as a shepherd boy with his guardians Agelaus & Harpru, & his friends Ankenaus, Brutus, Francus, & Oenone to how he becomes the prince of Troy meeting his half siblings Deiphobus, Troilus, Hectoris, Cassandra, & others.

Like Adam and Eve, it was inevitable that they'd give into the devil's tricks, and hence were banished to opposite sides of the earth. They found each other eventually, and from there on, that's where the story of humanity started. The two souls within this tale reside in different ends of the earth. They share different beliefs. Different cultures. Different languages... She was an ordinary Muslim girl, living in the Meskin Empire. There was an abundance of everything God could have graced the lands of the Meskins. They had it all. Then came in the enemies, wanting to steal the land and claim it as their own, but that wasn't the only thing they wanted. They wanted control, but so did the Meskins over their land. So they fought. Two different worlds collide against each other, wanting to take over. But who would prevail. Read to find out.
