While the Motion picture did justice to the magnificent and heroic figures of Achilles, Odysseus and Hector, it didn’t quite do justice to ALL of the Trojan War which lasted over 10 years. In that time Achilles had two loves. Breseis, niece to King Priam and Priestess of Apollo, was indeed lover to Achilles, but she was not the only ‘love’ he had. Penthesileia, Queen of the Amazons not only joined the Trojan War, retaking Troy from Achilles, she also took his heart. Unfortunately, Achilles himself would come to realize this much too late. Only upon her death did he recognize how much he truly loved her.
So like the hands of fate, and with the help of the creative genius JAL, I decided to give these two magnificent characters their own time together.
