Reflections Of Troy

Reflections Of Troy

The wrath do thou sing, O goddess, of Peleus’son, Achilles, that baneful wrath which brought countless woes upon the Achaeans, and sent forth to Hades many valiant souls of warriors, and made themselves to be a spoil for dogs and all manner of birds; and thus the will of Zeus was being brought to fulfilment; ó sing thou thereof from the time when at the first there parted in strife Atreus’son, king of men, and goodly Achilles.

Who then of the gods was it that brought these two together to contend? The son of Leto and Zeus; for he in wrath against the king roused throughout the host an evil pestilence, and the folk were perishing, for that upon the man Chryses, his priest, had the son of Atreus wrought dishonour. For he had come to the swift ships of the Achaeans to free his daughter, and he bore with him ransom past counting; and in his hands he held the fillets of Apollo, that smiteth afar, on a staff of gold, and he made prayer to all the Achaeans, but most of all to the two sons of Atreus, the marshallers of the host: “Ye sons of Atreus, and ye other well-greaved Achaeans, to you may the gods who havehomes upon Olympus grant that ye sack the city of Priam, and return safe to your homes; but my dear child do ye set free for me, and accept the ransom out of awe for the son of Zeus, Apollo, that smiteth afar.”

I thought I’d take the bull by the horns here, for my 5th stock image artwork. Still need some practice but I was happy with this.

Anyone may know I love Greek mythology so my 1st big project had to have some elements of it and I chose the story of Helen and the Trojan War, one of my favourites, to do.

This has many images in it…some are my own, some are stock and some are public domain so here we go with stock credits…

Helen..(can’t find, from DA, will add asap)

All other images are my own.

**The Greek writing…
