Last published Fri, Dec 26, 2025
When the walls of Troy fell, and her husband, Prince Hector, was slain by Achilles, Andromache lost everything - her family, her home, her freedom.
Caught in the whirlwind of men's ambitions and the cruelty of the victors, she becomes a slave in a foreign land, a rival to a queen, and a mother to a child many would wish to see dead.
This is not a story about warriors.
It is a tragic story of a woman who, in a world built on violence, found the strength to survive.

TROY: The War Of Gods & Mortals
"Is there no one else?" - Achilles "All men must die, but we are not men. We are Amazons." - Princess Diana When the grandson of Nereus and the granddaughter of Zeus cross swords, war erupts, and only one will live to tell the tale. Inspired by the movie Troy, this story reimagines the clash of warriors, gods, and destiny. For decades, Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, has waged war to unite Greece under his rule. Only Thessaly remains unconquered. Meanwhile, his brother, Menelaus, King of Sparta, seeks peace with Troy, the last great rival to Greek dominance. But peace is shattered when Paris, prince of Troy, seduces Helen, Queen of Sparta, and takes her back to his city. Enraged, Menelaus calls upon Agamemnon for vengeance. Seeing an opportunity to expand his power, Agamemnon assembles an army of 50,000 warriors and launches a thousand ships toward Troy. Among them is Achilles, son of the sea nymph Thetis and King Peleus, a warrior of unmatched skill and fury. A demigod with the blood of the gods coursing through his veins, Achilles fights for Greece, yet his disdain for Agamemnon threatens to unravel the fragile alliance. But the Greeks are not the only ones with divine blood on their side. Troy is protected by Diana, daughter of Athena and the mortal King Priam. A fierce Amazonian commander, Diana is a warrior born of wisdom and war, trained to lead, to conquer, and to protect her people at any cost. When she faces Achilles, their rivalry is instant, two demigods destined to clash in a battle that will shake the heavens. Swords will shatter. Blood will spill. And amidst the chaos of war, something forbidden begins to ignite between them, passion as dangerous as the battlefield itself. Will Achilles bring Troy to its knees, or will Diana prove that wisdom and strength together are mightier than rage? This story is inspired by Troy but takes its own path, weaving mythology, war, and fate into an epic tale of love, honor, and destiny. Lewa Kulture 2021Β©

Cuenta, Musa, la historia del hΓ©roe que vagΓ³ tanto tiempo despuΓ©s de asolada la ciudad de Troya por sus enemigos. AsΓ ha de rezar aquel poema que narra los horrores que un hombre hubo de soportar por volver con aquellos a quienes mΓ‘s anhelaba, mientras que zarpaba de isla en isla buscando el camino a casa, aΓ±o tras aΓ±o su hogar se llenaba de nobles, pretendientes por la mano de su esposa que la tomaban por viuda, asechΓ‘ndola a ella y a su pobre hijo. Pero este es un poema distinto. ΒΏY si Odiseo hubiera vuelto a Itaca al terminar la guerra? Ya no habrΓan pretendientes que asecharan a su esposa y su trono, ΒΏVerdad? ΒΏPodria su hijo TelΓ©maco vivir en paz al fin? ..........................................................

But this is a different poem. What if Odysseus had returned to Ithaca after the war? There would no longer be any suitors to prey on his wife and his throne, right? Could his son Telemachus live in peace at last?Complete

Beautiful War
*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.Complete
