War has raged outside the walls of Troy for the past seven years. Safe inside the royal palace, Briseis, a spirited young Trojan princess, sits back as her famous cousins, Hector and Paris, fight against the Greeks, who encroach upon Troy's borders more each day. 
An ill-advised trip outside the safety of the palace leads to Briseis being captured and held hostage by the Greeks. She's put in the custody of Prince Achilles of Thessaly, a moody and impulsive young man who just happens to be the Greeks' greatest warrior.  Achilles is destined to win glory and immortality but live a short and tragic life. 
Briseis is given in an arranged marriage to Achilles and the two find that their union might be based on more than just politics. But when Achilles comes into conflict with the greedy and powerful, King Agamemnon, it sets off a cycle of violence and tragedy that threatens all they both care about.All Rights Reserved

Fear's Union by jhockley

Anejo has always battled against the natural order of things - she is nobility, but she plays at being a soldier. And her reckless streak often brings her notoriety, where all she actually wants is to hide away. Trouble follows where she treads, but will she be a force for good or a force for bad? And Keles has the unenviable task of controlling Anejo. But he also has his own agenda, and he is having an illicit affair - with Anejo's friend no less. That too is becoming a burden he can no longer bear. Will he be able to shed his problems and fulfil his potential? Because in the meantime, enemies are circling and conflict gathers. There are dangers stalking the borders, and a darker menace looms large. But even allies are not dependable, and perhaps the greatest threat is from within. A lot will rest on Anejo's narrow shoulders; including the continued liberation of her country.

Achilles&Briseis: A Novel by AvatarAshdel

Briseis of Pedasus is a princess with a dual fate. She is the daughter of an unknown goddess and a king obsessed with legacy. A legacy Briseis is unable to continue, much to her father's dismay. As the Trojan War begins, Briseis accepts a quest to kill a man in the name of a goddess who wants glory, and if Briseis succeeds, the curse upon her house will be reversed. This is a story of parents and children, love and hate, hope and dismay as characters question if it's impossible to change the fates which have been decreed for them. UPDATED TWICE MONTHLY This is the first draft of this story. I participated in the Wattpad Bootcamp Mentorship Program which pairs mentees with mentors to work on a story of the mentee's choosing. This is the story I worked on with my mentor and it contains none of the changes which will be in the final draft. I hope you enjoy reading this first version : ) and I hope readers will be interested to read the final draft once it's finished. AUTHOR ON VACATION UNTIL AFTER THE NEW YEAR. NEXT UPDATE WILL BE JANUARY 6, 2025. A deeper dive into the classic love story of the Trojan War, based on the poem I wrote also called Achilles&Briseis. The poem can be found on my profile if you would like to read it. The poem contains some spoilers for story lines that will appear in the novel. I feel compelled to say this story will not be a traditional retelling of the Iliad. This story is going to be something new among the conflicts we all know well from many years of the Iliad being told. If you are looking for a story more in keeping with the original poem, this is not that story. Many things will be changed, many things will be unfamiliar, and we are going somewhere no story of the Trojan War has gone before. If you see this story anywhere besides Wattpad please make me aware. This is the only place I post stories. I don't have multiple accounts on this site, so this is the only profile this story should be posted on. Thank you, readers.

Beautiful War by pucklover

*All Characters are based of off Homer's great work the Illiad You have heard my name before. I am the face that launched a thousand ships. The face that destroyed a city. Many men have told the story of Helen of Troy... That is me. But they never told my true story. My real story is one no man has ever told, no man has ever heard... Until now. I was forced at the age of 15 to marry a man who brutally murdered my father before my very eyes. Beaten and raped for five years, all because I could not produce a son or heir. A heir that my husband so desparately wanted. When I became pregant at the age of 20, I knew that if I gave birth to my a daughter. My husband Menelaus would kill myself and the child. When the princes of Troy arrived in Sparta under the banner of peace. Hector and Paris did not know they would be walking into a trap, laid out by my husband. Paris fell in love with me, the moment he saw me. Most men did... My brother and I knew that we had to save them from the fate that Menelaus had planned. That was then I went into labor. My life and outlook changed when I gave birth to my daughter Hermoine. Both Trojan princes were willing to sacrifice themselves to rescue my daughter and I. Taking us to Troy... Now it is time to tell my story. Read it for yourselves and determine who the true heroes and villians are. This is my story.

Set Me As A Seal ✓ by outbriefcandle54

A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------

Hearts Entwined in Battle by HeathensChrist

Summary In the midst of a fracturing empire, three hearts collide on the battleground of a fierce civil war, weaving a complex tapestry of love and conflict. General Lysander, a stoic and strategic leader of the royal army, and Captain Thalia, a fiery rebel commander, begin as fierce adversaries. Their initial encounters are fraught with tension and animosity, each dedicated to their cause but undeniably drawn to the other's formidable spirit and tactical brilliance. Their battles are not only fought with swords but with words, as each confrontation leaves them more intrigued and conflicted. Enter Eris, a cunning diplomat whose allegiance sways with a persuasive eloquence that masks a deeper, more personal agenda. Eris knows Lysander and Thalia not just as enemies but as former lovers, now torn apart by war and duty. Seeing the potential for peace and personal gain, Eris manipulates events to force the three of them into an uneasy alliance. As the war intensifies, so does the trio's emotions. Forced to confront their pasts and the growing feelings between them, Lysander, Thalia, and Eris find themselves in a tumultuous negotiation of desire and duty. Through secret meetings, dangerous liaisons, and heart-wrenching betrayals, they must navigate their personal conflicts and their responsibilities to their people. With the empire's fate hanging in the balance, the three must decide if their newly forged bonds are strong enough to challenge their loyalties and perhaps alter the course of the war. Can they transform their fiery enmity into a polyamorous love strong enough to unite their divided world, or will their passions ignite the flames of destruction? **Hearts Entwined in Battle** explores the complex dynamics of love and loyalty, questioning whether the heart can truly be the path to peace in a world torn by conflict.
