Black Ships Before Troy

Chapter 4

When Zues returned, Thetis asked Zues to have the Trojans win the next battle like Achilles said. Zues sayed yes, so then he sent a false dream to Aggememnon saying the Greeks would defeat Troy in a battle. Aggememnon wanted to test the troops to see how "psyched" they were for the battle. The Greek and Trojan armies were lined up for battle. Paris said he would fight anyone just for Helen. Menelaus came out to fight Paris, but then Paris backed down. Hector talked some courage back into Paris. Helen found out that Menelaus and Paris were fighting over her, so she went to watch. People from both sides took an oath to honor the winner.
