Ships swiftly flying locally.
Helen of Sparta set them free.
Hector-Paris crossed the vast sea.
to sue for peace and hope they agree.
Paris struck by Helen's fate,
left Hector to negotiate
Exquisite love between the two.
Knew there is nothing left to do.
Helen hid and then stowed away.
Hector found her after a day.
Hector is angry at Paris' no boy!
Still, they kept sailing for Troy.
Priam welcomed Helen of Sparta.
"Helen of Troy, Sparta not part of."
Menelaus enraged went to his brother.
"Agamemnon help me there's no other!"
Agamemnon and greed walked hand in hand.
Sat with his brother large battles to plan.
Two vengeful kings gathered their men.
Sent word to Achilles and his Myrmaden.
Sailed over to Troy a large vast fleet.
Intentions to cause a huge mass defeat.
Achilles' friend his name was Patroclus.
Died in battle Hector duplicitous.
Achilles in grief went after Hector.
Fought for hours there was no victor.
Weak, and exhausted Hector was done.
Achilles pounced with blades one by one!
Maniloas was killed just before Hector.
Greeks thought they shouldn't have gone there.
Ten years the Greek war razed and blazed on.
Troy was starving, and wished they were gone.
Odysseus went to his king with wine.
An idea he had a wood horse so fine.
"Fill this horse with only your best"
"Give as a gift this idea we'll test! "
King Priam-Prince Paris was at odds over this.
The wood horse is a trick this you can't miss.
King Priam thought it was God's perfect gift.
King Priam-Prince Paris is now in a rift.
The night then came calling
Fair Troy began falling.
The city was ablaze and bombarded.
Not a single warrior was rewarded.
When the deathly ash settled
red bodies dishevelled,
Agamemnon stood there alone
Wondered where's the glory he honed?
Around him was death he didn't see yet.
Intentions for power smashed with bloodlet.
The city was dust no people remained
Nothing was left for Agamemnon to claim.
Ten years of fighting now all was red death,
Including Achilles who's gone to his rest.
Agamemnon the last king remained
No city no nobles no treasure he gained.
Around him were dead ones left as examples.
Soldiers ran through and pushed in the brambles.
The city was ashes there is nothing left.
The king packed his fleet his treasure bereft.
Helen and Paris did they get away?
Historians don't know this they won't say.
Agamemnon died in his bathtub one night.
Tied up and stabbed with an axe, not a knife!
Troy was discovered and exists today.
In a corner of Turkey, all tucked away.
Should you visit it's lovely still now.
Pray for Helen and Paris somehow.
