1
00:00:00,308 --> 00:00:03,058
(dramatic music)

2
00:00:30,758 --> 00:00:33,928
(light, dreamy music)

3
00:00:56,970 --> 00:00:59,070
- [Narrator] Achilles awakes with a start.

4
00:00:59,970 --> 00:01:01,830
He has had the same dream again,

5
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:04,890
a dream that haunts him,

6
00:01:04,885 --> 00:01:07,195
the persistent echo of the choice

7
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,240
with which his mother,
Thetis, confronted him

8
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,770
as he was leaving for Troy.

9
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,150
Either fight alongside the Greeks

10
00:01:15,150 --> 00:01:18,560
and see his name celebrated
until the end of time,

11
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,880
but die carrying out his exploits,

12
00:01:22,430 --> 00:01:25,240
or stay at home with his family

13
00:01:25,244 --> 00:01:28,374
to live a long, beautiful life,

14
00:01:28,370 --> 00:01:31,330
blessed by the gods,
with the woman he loves,

15
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,990
but to renounce the glory
that crosses the centuries.

16
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:41,630
Before him stand Ajax and Ulysses.

17
00:01:42,610 --> 00:01:46,400
They have come to tell him
that Agamemnon, King of Kings,

18
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,250
humbly begged him to return
to the heart of the fighting,

19
00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:52,890
that he was returning
Briseis and more gifts

20
00:01:52,890 --> 00:01:54,590
than he could possibly hope for.

21
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,830
Achilles stares at his companions.

22
00:01:59,830 --> 00:02:02,100
Yes, he has made his choice.

23
00:02:03,220 --> 00:02:05,190
He will not remain in his tent.

24
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,330
But he will fight no more for Agamemnon.

25
00:02:09,330 --> 00:02:11,260
He will return to Greece.

26
00:02:11,260 --> 00:02:14,610
And he advises his
companions to do the same.

27
00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:17,680
He reminds them that he only
agreed to come to this war

28
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,550
because it suited him,

29
00:02:19,550 --> 00:02:22,400
and not to avenge the
honor of a cheated husband,

30
00:02:22,395 --> 00:02:25,285
even though it be Menelaus,

31
00:02:25,290 --> 00:02:28,140
the brother of Agamemnon, King of Kings.

32
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,630
Ulysses remains speechless.

33
00:02:40,510 --> 00:02:43,010
Then the Greeks have lost the Trojan War.

34
00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:46,500
Achilles sinks into his rancor.

35
00:02:47,860 --> 00:02:51,870
May this arrogance not
draw the anger of gods.

36
00:02:51,866 --> 00:02:54,946
(lightning crashing)

37
00:03:10,250 --> 00:03:12,420
At the same instance, in Troy,

38
00:03:12,416 --> 00:03:14,506
Priam and his generals are exultant.

39
00:03:15,770 --> 00:03:18,200
The old king is now convinced that victory

40
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,730
is just hours away.

41
00:03:21,020 --> 00:03:24,350
The Greeks have lost
the favor of the gods.

42
00:03:24,350 --> 00:03:26,060
Their losses mount steadily.

43
00:03:27,530 --> 00:03:30,350
Tonight, the wall that the Greeks erected

44
00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:33,740
to protect their ships will be destroyed.

45
00:03:33,740 --> 00:03:36,850
And all the Trojans will
have to do is burn them.

46
00:03:41,740 --> 00:03:43,090
Hector nods.

47
00:03:44,050 --> 00:03:47,230
Yes, of course, the
Greeks are on their knees.

48
00:03:48,210 --> 00:03:50,010
But they resist.

49
00:03:50,010 --> 00:03:53,240
And all the assaults led
by Hector are repulsed.

50
00:03:55,232 --> 00:03:58,572
(gentle dramatic music)

51
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:17,020
Is the son of Priam the only
one aware of the fragility

52
00:04:17,020 --> 00:04:18,340
of the Trojan position?

53
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:23,940
He knows that Troy will not prevail

54
00:04:23,940 --> 00:04:26,400
as long as Athena favors the Greeks.

55
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,960
She is the Goddess of War.

56
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,010
It is she who prevents the Trojans

57
00:04:33,010 --> 00:04:34,900
from finishing off the Greeks.

58
00:04:36,361 --> 00:04:39,191
(inspiring music)

59
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:42,990
Hector has an idea,

60
00:04:44,130 --> 00:04:47,060
that the Trojans should
henceforth honor the goddess

61
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,340
by worshiping her on a level

62
00:04:50,340 --> 00:04:53,010
with the other protector gods of Troy,

63
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,970
Apollo, Artemis, and Aphrodite.

64
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,170
Priam listens to his son, then
sweeps aside his proposal.

65
00:05:07,010 --> 00:05:10,650
He is afraid of offending the
gods who defend his people

66
00:05:10,650 --> 00:05:12,510
if he offers Athena recognition

67
00:05:12,510 --> 00:05:14,410
as one of the goddesses of Troy.

68
00:05:17,883 --> 00:05:19,533
(crickets chirping)

69
00:05:19,530 --> 00:05:22,730
No, there is not point trying to deceive

70
00:05:22,730 --> 00:05:25,030
the goddess of the ruse.

71
00:05:25,030 --> 00:05:27,080
You must attack without delay.

72
00:05:28,450 --> 00:05:30,470
Apollo will guide Hector's arm,

73
00:05:31,361 --> 00:05:32,531
and the God of Light will be stronger

74
00:05:32,530 --> 00:05:34,060
than the Goddess of War.

75
00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:37,700
(dramatic music)

76
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:40,110
So be it.

77
00:05:40,110 --> 00:05:42,090
Hector will obey his father.

78
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:46,439
But he is gripped by a dark foreboding.

79
00:05:52,580 --> 00:05:54,040
He adjusts his armor,

80
00:05:55,970 --> 00:05:58,080
takes his sword and his javelin

81
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,790
and marches resolutely
towards the gates of Troy.

82
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:05,390
Aeneas joins him.

83
00:06:10,060 --> 00:06:12,430
Together, the two Trojan generals

84
00:06:12,430 --> 00:06:14,530
harangue their calvary men,

85
00:06:14,530 --> 00:06:16,970
then gallop their horses to the dunes

86
00:06:16,970 --> 00:06:18,800
where the Greek army is camped.

87
00:06:19,644 --> 00:06:22,394
(dramatic music)

88
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,080
Again, the impact is appalling.

89
00:06:29,950 --> 00:06:32,940
Again, the Trojans rush in.

90
00:06:35,140 --> 00:06:38,060
Again, the Greeks retreat.

91
00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:47,750
In his tent, Achilles
listens with indifference

92
00:06:47,750 --> 00:06:49,110
to the clamor of battle.

93
00:06:53,250 --> 00:06:55,450
A young page enters timidly.

94
00:06:57,140 --> 00:06:59,200
In a toneless voice he announces

95
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,630
that the King of Kings,
Agamemnon, has been wounded.

96
00:07:09,460 --> 00:07:11,650
An arrow has pierced his shoulder.

97
00:07:13,290 --> 00:07:15,970
And the fiery Diomedes, too, has been hit.

98
00:07:18,770 --> 00:07:20,830
Achilles does not flinch.

99
00:07:31,043 --> 00:07:33,543
(men yelling)

100
00:07:34,990 --> 00:07:37,690
Nothing seems capable
of stopping the Trojans.

101
00:07:38,630 --> 00:07:40,820
Just as hunters will exhaust a boar

102
00:07:40,820 --> 00:07:42,910
in the depths of a wood,

103
00:07:42,910 --> 00:07:47,910
so Hector's men crowd around
Ulysses, like hungry wolves.

104
00:07:51,330 --> 00:07:54,000
A spear hits the king of Ithaca's shield.

105
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,200
But just when it's about the
penetrate the Greek's entrails,

106
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,260
an invisible hand diverts it,

107
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,570
that of Athena.

108
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,900
Ulysses is saved.

109
00:08:08,053 --> 00:08:11,723
(sword plunging into flesh)

110
00:08:17,035 --> 00:08:19,695
But a Trojan arrow hits him in the thigh.

111
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:20,990
He must be rescued.

112
00:08:22,830 --> 00:08:25,950
Ajax and Menelaus, after a fierce fight,

113
00:08:25,950 --> 00:08:28,280
manage to wrench him from the battlefield.

114
00:08:34,820 --> 00:08:37,790
The Trojans sow terror in the Greek ranks.

115
00:08:39,490 --> 00:08:43,340
In a prodigious clash,
the stockade collapses.

116
00:08:43,340 --> 00:08:44,860
The ramparts are broken.

117
00:08:45,850 --> 00:08:49,470
In the wall built by the
Greeks to protect their ships,

118
00:08:49,470 --> 00:08:52,270
a long breach appears like a gaping wound.

119
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:00,680
Everywhere are upturned
chariots, disemboweled horses,

120
00:09:01,770 --> 00:09:05,140
arms, heads strewn on the ground,

121
00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:08,410
men piled atop each other, dying.

122
00:09:10,610 --> 00:09:13,600
An immense clamor rises to the heavens,

123
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,210
even up to Olympus.

124
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,130
Far from the fury of men,

125
00:09:26,130 --> 00:09:29,270
Hera helplessly observes
the Greek debacle.

126
00:09:32,130 --> 00:09:34,740
Zeus had banished them
from the battlefield.

127
00:09:35,624 --> 00:09:37,054
But he took the Trojans' side

128
00:09:37,050 --> 00:09:40,830
to please a second order goddess, Thetis.

129
00:09:43,970 --> 00:09:47,460
He didn't punish Ares for
firing up Hector's troops,

130
00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:51,220
nor his dear daughter Athena
who had just saved Ulysses

131
00:09:51,220 --> 00:09:52,600
from certain death.

132
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,420
To the gods, Hera designates
the theater of operations.

133
00:10:02,420 --> 00:10:04,840
Agamemnon's men will not resist for long

134
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,270
if the divinities meant to protect them

135
00:10:07,270 --> 00:10:09,420
do not dare come to their rescue.

136
00:10:11,778 --> 00:10:14,858
(lightning crashing)

137
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:19,810
Do the gods of Olympus
intend to live indefinitely,

138
00:10:19,810 --> 00:10:21,000
according to Zeus.

139
00:10:23,940 --> 00:10:27,210
One of them cannot hide his annoyance.

140
00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:31,020
Poseidon, the one they call Earth Shaker,

141
00:10:31,020 --> 00:10:35,940
can no longer bear his brother
Zeus dictating his behavior.

142
00:10:38,460 --> 00:10:40,970
His fury is unbound.

143
00:10:42,020 --> 00:10:44,960
But all the gods, including
the prickly Poseidon,

144
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,340
refuse to act.

145
00:10:47,630 --> 00:10:50,480
They swore to the master of
Olympus to remain neutral

146
00:10:50,484 --> 00:10:53,674
and have no desire to incur his wrath

147
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:55,300
and his punishments.

148
00:11:03,150 --> 00:11:06,070
So Hera returns to her apartments.

149
00:11:07,010 --> 00:11:08,520
An idea comes to her.

150
00:11:09,610 --> 00:11:12,840
She takes a bath, does her hair,

151
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,490
places a few drops of
scented oil on her neck,

152
00:11:16,490 --> 00:11:20,070
wears the most alluring
fabrics that exist,

153
00:11:20,070 --> 00:11:23,640
and visits her great rival Aphrodite.

154
00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:29,050
Since the beginning of the Trojan War,

155
00:11:29,050 --> 00:11:31,990
the two goddesses have
sworn a boundless hatred

156
00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:33,410
for each other.

157
00:11:33,410 --> 00:11:36,780
Hera did not accept
Aphrodite being designated

158
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:39,230
by the young Paris as the most beautiful

159
00:11:39,230 --> 00:11:40,550
of all the goddesses.

160
00:11:45,370 --> 00:11:48,160
That's why she supports the Greeks,

161
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,620
as Aphrodite is protecting
Paris and the Trojans.

162
00:12:00,110 --> 00:12:03,420
The two goddesses are face-to-face.

163
00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:07,580
Between sobs, Hera comes
to recognize her defeat.

164
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,140
The fate of the war is now sealed.

165
00:12:12,780 --> 00:12:16,370
Aphrodite and her proteges have won.

166
00:12:16,370 --> 00:12:18,340
The Greeks are defeated.

167
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,500
All that remains for Hera
is to try to win back

168
00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:27,850
the favor of her husband Zeus.

169
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:32,420
To do so, she seeks
the help of the goddess

170
00:12:32,420 --> 00:12:36,160
who emerged victorious from
this conflict and their quarrel.

171
00:12:37,070 --> 00:12:39,930
She begs Aphrodite to lend her her belt,

172
00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:43,010
this famous embroidered belt

173
00:12:43,010 --> 00:12:45,030
in which her charms are encased,

174
00:12:46,220 --> 00:12:49,640
this belt that bewitches whoever wears it,

175
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,960
and can seduce the most
insensitive beings,

176
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:58,680
the same one which was
once offered to Paris.

177
00:13:12,450 --> 00:13:14,920
Aphrodite is gloating.

178
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,500
So she had won.

179
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:20,650
And even the formidable Hera submits.

180
00:13:24,350 --> 00:13:26,310
She accepts.

181
00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:29,740
She will concede to her
vanquished rival the love,

182
00:13:29,740 --> 00:13:33,210
the desire by which mortals
and immortals are slain

183
00:13:33,210 --> 00:13:35,970
so that Zeus returns to her

184
00:13:35,970 --> 00:13:39,530
and that unity reigns again
amongst the gods of Olympus.

185
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,770
She undoes the embroidered belt,

186
00:13:46,770 --> 00:13:48,900
puts it in the hand of Hera,

187
00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:51,650
and tells her that she
will not return to Olympus

188
00:13:51,650 --> 00:13:54,670
without having attained
what her heart desires.

189
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,470
Hera then goes to her divine husband.

190
00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:11,050
She is humble, but also cajoling.

191
00:14:12,190 --> 00:14:15,170
And she asks permission
to return to his bed.

192
00:14:17,890 --> 00:14:22,020
Desire immediately clouds
the great Zeus's caution.

193
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:29,310
And as on the first day, one
and the other come together.

194
00:14:31,249 --> 00:14:34,579
(gently dramatic music)

195
00:14:55,655 --> 00:14:58,065
But Hera does not stop there.

196
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,090
In the greatest secrecy,
she instructed Hypnos,

197
00:15:07,090 --> 00:15:10,960
the God of Sleep, to
follow her at a distance.

198
00:15:15,730 --> 00:15:19,420
She convinced him that the
mighty Zeus wanted to rest,

199
00:15:19,420 --> 00:15:20,820
but could not sleep.

200
00:15:23,570 --> 00:15:27,390
So just after their lovemaking,
at a sign from Hera,

201
00:15:27,390 --> 00:15:30,180
Hypnos puts Zeus to sleep.

202
00:15:35,390 --> 00:15:39,840
A soft torpor then covers the
islands of the God of Gods.

203
00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:45,360
Overwhelmed by love and sleep,

204
00:15:45,358 --> 00:15:48,938
he sinks into a lethargy
that Hypnos takes care

205
00:15:48,940 --> 00:15:51,580
to make as deep as it is lasting.

206
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:56,110
Hera stands up.

207
00:15:57,220 --> 00:15:58,920
A glance at her sleeping husband,

208
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,800
and she hurries to Olympus.

209
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,000
To the assembled gods, she
announces that Zeus is asleep

210
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,190
and that they can thus take
advantage of this respite

211
00:16:10,190 --> 00:16:12,050
to fly to the Greeks' rescue

212
00:16:12,050 --> 00:16:14,190
without risking divine lightning.

213
00:16:18,060 --> 00:16:21,670
But it is Poseidon, in
particular, she is addressing.

214
00:16:21,670 --> 00:16:25,480
Poseidon, irritated by the
wall built by the Greeks,

215
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,220
raised the sea against them.

216
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,160
But he has picked the wrong
fight, Hera tells him.

217
00:16:34,369 --> 00:16:37,239
To tell the truth, she has no difficulty

218
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,230
in convincing Poseidon,
the eternal plotter,

219
00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:42,970
relegated to his palace under the sea

220
00:16:42,970 --> 00:16:45,280
to take sides with the Greeks

221
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,010
Zeus wanted to see lose the war.

222
00:16:52,803 --> 00:16:55,723
(thundering music)

223
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,670
Poseidon returns to his palace,

224
00:17:05,670 --> 00:17:07,620
then heads for the Greek camp.

225
00:17:09,002 --> 00:17:11,752
(dramatic music)

226
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,600
Once on the shore, he takes
on the appearance of Calchas.

227
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:26,110
Calchas, diviner of great powers,

228
00:17:26,110 --> 00:17:29,790
the man who knows how to
interpret the will of the gods.

229
00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:33,100
Agamemnon and his companions

230
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:35,710
stare at the old man in astonishment.

231
00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:41,240
Just two days ago, what Calchas told him

232
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,170
forced Agamemnon to give up his captive,

233
00:17:44,170 --> 00:17:46,120
the beautiful Chryseis.

234
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,270
The seer assured him
that it was the only way

235
00:17:53,270 --> 00:17:56,370
to calm the anger of the god Apollo.

236
00:18:01,797 --> 00:18:04,667
(gentle dramatic music)

237
00:18:04,671 --> 00:18:06,571
What bad news will he bring this time?

238
00:18:13,330 --> 00:18:18,230
But against all odds,
Calchas exalts them to hold,

239
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,320
to regroup, to launch an assault
against Hector's calvary.

240
00:18:25,220 --> 00:18:28,960
He implores them not to lose
hope, to return to the fight.

241
00:18:33,670 --> 00:18:38,660
Addressing Agamemnon, he claims
that if he rejoins battle,

242
00:18:38,660 --> 00:18:41,510
he will witness the fall of Troy,

243
00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:45,400
that his day of glory
has never been so close.

244
00:18:49,770 --> 00:18:53,490
With these words, he leaves the tent,

245
00:18:53,490 --> 00:18:55,370
resumes his divine form,

246
00:18:56,350 --> 00:19:00,630
and rushes onto the plain,
uttering a furious cry.

247
00:19:05,690 --> 00:19:08,480
On the other side of the wall, now broken,

248
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,690
Poseidon's intervention
has a prodigious effect.

249
00:19:12,670 --> 00:19:14,880
Here the battle takes a different turn.

250
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,760
It now turns to the
advantage of the Greeks.

251
00:19:19,670 --> 00:19:21,550
The Trojans are repulsed.

252
00:19:22,990 --> 00:19:27,990
(men yelling)
(dramatic music)

253
00:19:30,310 --> 00:19:33,130
Through the melee, more and more confused,

254
00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:35,770
Hector suddenly sees Ajax.

255
00:19:37,690 --> 00:19:42,600
Like a river in flood, the Greek
giant brandishes his hammer

256
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,640
mowing down warriors
and horses by the dozen.

257
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,810
Hector throws his javelin at him.

258
00:19:49,810 --> 00:19:51,680
It is stopped by the Greek's shield.

259
00:19:53,176 --> 00:19:55,846
Ajax, not losing a second,

260
00:19:55,850 --> 00:19:58,180
seizes ones of the enormous rocks

261
00:19:58,180 --> 00:20:00,400
which serve as anchors for the ships

262
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,630
and catapults it with all
his force at the Trojan.

263
00:20:04,810 --> 00:20:07,450
Hector is hit full in the chest.

264
00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:26,830
Around Hector, astonishment reigns.

265
00:20:26,830 --> 00:20:29,970
The Greeks rush in to
finish off the son of Priam.

266
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:33,920
The Trojans cover him with their shields.

267
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,400
Fending off mortal blows,
they lift their general,

268
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,730
lay him on a chariot,

269
00:20:38,730 --> 00:20:41,080
and manage to carry him off to the city.

270
00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:44,770
As they arrive at the foot of the walls,

271
00:20:44,770 --> 00:20:47,590
Hector regains consciousness.

272
00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:50,920
He tries to get up, but collapses again.

273
00:20:53,010 --> 00:20:57,310
Little by little, the dark
night envelops his eyes.

274
00:21:01,083 --> 00:21:03,753
(ominous music)

275
00:21:11,570 --> 00:21:13,920
Sleep has just left Zeus.

276
00:21:15,490 --> 00:21:18,540
With a bound, the God
of Gods is on his feet.

277
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:21,940
He looks around for Hera.

278
00:21:24,620 --> 00:21:28,390
Then he leans over the clouds
towards the plain of Troy.

279
00:21:30,260 --> 00:21:33,950
On the battlefield, he
sees Trojans and Greeks,

280
00:21:33,950 --> 00:21:38,950
the former shaken, the latter
jostling them from behind.

281
00:21:39,020 --> 00:21:43,030
He sees Athena guiding
Agamemnon's archers' arrows,

282
00:21:43,030 --> 00:21:46,260
Apollo guiding those of Priam's archers.

283
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,670
And above all, he sees
his brother, Poseidon,

284
00:21:51,670 --> 00:21:54,920
like a madman, encouraging the Greeks,

285
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,220
unleashing a storm upon Troy

286
00:21:57,220 --> 00:22:00,200
and what looks like a real tidal wave.

287
00:22:04,661 --> 00:22:06,791
(dramatic music)

288
00:22:06,790 --> 00:22:09,860
And there, hastening
towards the gates of Troy

289
00:22:09,860 --> 00:22:14,070
in the pouring rain is Hector, wounded,

290
00:22:14,070 --> 00:22:15,290
carried by his men.

291
00:22:23,180 --> 00:22:26,560
A terrible anger seizes the God of Gods.

292
00:22:27,836 --> 00:22:30,916
(lightning crashing)

293
00:22:32,690 --> 00:22:35,450
In an instant, he is here on Olympus.

294
00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:39,390
He grabs the insolent Hera by the neck.

295
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,340
He is about to crush her
neck when he remembers

296
00:22:44,340 --> 00:22:46,070
that she is his sister,

297
00:22:47,730 --> 00:22:49,100
and his wife,

298
00:22:49,940 --> 00:22:53,010
but also that he has already
punished her in the past.

299
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,390
He remembers that he had
hung her in the clouds

300
00:23:01,390 --> 00:23:05,820
with two anvils on her feet
and a gold chain on her arms

301
00:23:05,820 --> 00:23:10,270
because she had dared to rally
the other gods against him.

302
00:23:11,848 --> 00:23:15,178
(gentle dramatic music)

303
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,060
Later, he will decide the
punishment to be meted out

304
00:23:26,060 --> 00:23:28,580
to she, who since the beginning,

305
00:23:28,580 --> 00:23:31,750
has done everything for Troy to disappear

306
00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:33,570
and the Greeks to triumph.

307
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,940
But first, he must halt the carnage.

308
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:48,210
He summons Athena, who doesn't
dare show herself before him,

309
00:23:48,210 --> 00:23:49,760
and immediately flees.

310
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:55,310
He launches a lightning bolt
at his brother, Poseidon,

311
00:23:55,310 --> 00:23:58,650
which he avoids by parrying
with the back of his trident

312
00:23:58,653 --> 00:24:01,903
before diving into the heart of the ocean

313
00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:05,540
and sinking through the waves
to his underwater palace.

314
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,100
From this palace, far from men and gods,

315
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:17,490
the Earth Shaker issues Zeus, his brother,

316
00:24:17,492 --> 00:24:20,972
with what sounds like
much more than a warning.

317
00:24:22,230 --> 00:24:25,610
He agrees to withdraw
before the God of Gods,

318
00:24:25,610 --> 00:24:28,470
but he orders him to destroy Troy.

319
00:24:29,790 --> 00:24:33,910
Otherwise, it would become an
incurable grudge between them.

320
00:24:42,620 --> 00:24:45,440
Zeus contemplates the plain of Troy.

321
00:24:47,130 --> 00:24:49,920
Everywhere, hundreds lie dead.

322
00:24:53,470 --> 00:24:57,160
And one man, whose life hangs by a thread,

323
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,990
a man who must be saved at all costs.

324
00:25:04,510 --> 00:25:09,110
Hector, son of Priam, is dying.

325
00:25:17,475 --> 00:25:20,225
(dramatic music)
