Your words help us bring the magic of Ancient Greece to children everywhere. But this story begins long before the flames. Before Troy burned, before armies gathered, before a thousand ships cut through wine-dark seas-there was a girl in Sparta. Helen, daughter of Zeus, growing up where strength was law and beauty was unmatched power.Rival kings arrive at her father's palace, each certain he deserves her hand. The greatest heroes of Greece compete for her love. But choosing one suitor will turn all others into enemies. Then comes the Oath-a promise binding enough to drag a civilization into war. Every suitor swears to protect Helen's chosen husband against any threat. It seems wise. It will prove to be destiny's trap.Across the sea in Troy, a baby is born. The prophetess screams: This child will bring ruin. He will be the death of Troy itself. His name is Paris. His parents abandon him on a mountainside, praying the gods will be merciful.The gods are never merciful. Only patient. Paris survives. He grows strong and beautiful, unaware he's a prince, unknowing that three goddesses will make him judge of a contest that shatters worlds. Hera offers power. Athena promises glory. But Aphrodite whispers: The most beautiful woman in the world will be yours. He chooses love. He chooses Helen.Their eyes meet at a feast. The world falls away. When Paris takes Helen from Sparta, he doesn't just steal a wife-he shatters the Oath, awakens kings' fury, sets Greece aflame.
