It is one of the heritages of Troy kingdom when they were lost in struggling the Sparta Kingdom. It was the end of Troy and the hero of this history is Archilles.
Once upon a time in Troy, 1193 B.C., a war resulted from love between Paris, Prince of Troy, and Helen, Queen of Sparta. In one party between Sparta and Troy, Paris was falling in love when saw Helen, the wife of Manelous-The king of Sparta. He tried to woos Helen away. Helen didn’t hold up with Manelous’ attitude. So she tried to escape from the Sparta kingdom by running away with Paris quietly when the Trojan sailed back. And it made Manelous’ anger up. So he decided to set a war with Troy.
The Greeks sailed to Troy to make a battle with Paris. Archilles was the greatest hero among the Greeks. He was one of the Greek armies and decided to involve fighting for Sparta to Troy. Archilles lead the first war with 50 Greeks, and he did it. He forced back the Trojans from the Apollo temple. At one day, The Greeks attacked back the Troy, but Archilles decided not to join with his armies because one girl namely Preceis-she is Hectors’ cousin.
Preceis is a prisoner of Sparta when they mastered the Apollo temple. Archilles fell in love with her. So he decided not to joint with his armies. Hector, the oldest son of Troy killed Patroculus, Archilles’ cousin in a dawn war because he thought he was Archilles. Archilles got angry with Hector and then he killed Hector in a head to head war in front of Troy’s family.
Twelve days later was the final war. Sparta gave a gift to Troy. The king Priam thought it was an honor as a symbol of the end of war. It was a big horse statue – it was a symbol of Sparta kingdom. At the midnight, when the town was silent, some Greeks were out from the horse statue to attack and fire Troy from inside of the kingdom. The king Priam was killed by Manelous, but Manelous was death too by Preceis. When Archilles came to save Preceis, Paris came and shot him.
At the last, Paris came and move to Archilles. Archilles, in his last breath, asked to Paris to save Preceis out from this kingdom. And then, they escaped from the kingdom through the little path inside the kingdom with some Trojans.
Archilles was death with honor and love. He became a great hero and a great legend of Sparta. All the Sparta’s armies respected him. They immortalized that time as Killis Epoch.
