Winds of Betrayal: The Trojan War Begins

In this episode, we dive into the dramatic events that ignited the Trojan War—a story filled with betrayal, sacrifice, and the will of the gods.

It all starts when Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, disappears from Sparta. Furious and heartbroken, her husband, Menelaus, calls upon his brother Agamemnon, and together they summon the might of the Greek kings to demand her return. The stakes are high, and the gods have their own plans. 

As the Greek fleet gathers at Aulis, a powerful storm sent by the goddess Artemis halts their journey. Agamemnon, desperate to set sail, is forced to make an unimaginable choice—sacrifice his own daughter, Iphigenia, to appease the gods and restore the winds. This tragic act sows the seeds of revenge in Agamemnon’s wife, Clytemnestra, and sets the stage for future betrayal. 

Finally, the Greeks arrive on the shores of Troy, only to be met with a tense showdown. Menelaus and Odysseus demand Helen’s return, but King Priam refuses, knowing the political consequences would be disastrous. With no turning back, the stage is set for the legendary siege of Troy. 

From heart-wrenching decisions to divine intervention, this episode explores the choices and betrayals that led to one of the most famous wars in history. Tune in to discover how a stolen queen, a broken oath, and a deadly sacrifice set the world on fire—starting the epic battle that would change everything.
