Agamemnon:
[approaches king]
Good day for the crows. Triopas:
Remove your army from my land. Agamemnon:
Why, I like your land, I think we'll stay. I like your soldiers too. Triopas:
They won't fight for you. Agamemnon:
That's what the Messenians said, and the Acardians, and the Opeians, now they all fight for me. Triopas:
You can't have the whole world, Agamemnon. It's too big, even for you. Agamemnon:
I don't want to watch another massacre. Let's settle this war in the old manner. Your best fighter against my best. Triopas:
And if my man wins? Agamemnon:
We'll leave Thessaly for good. Triopas:
Boagrius! [cheers from Thessalian army. Boagrius comes out from the centre of the army] Agamemnon:
Achilles! [silence] Triopas:
Boagrius has this effect on many heroes. Agamemnon:
Be careful who you insult, old king. Greek Soldier:
My king, Achilles is not with the army. Agamemnon:
Where is he? Greek Soldier:
I sent a boy to look for him

Movie Summary
In year 1250 B.C. during the late Bronze age, two emerging nations begin to clash. Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was taken by the Trojans, he asks his brother Agamemnom to help him get her back. Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity for power. So they set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy. With the help of Achilles, the Greeks are able to fight the never before defeated Trojans.
