In ancient times, when legends were born,
A tale of valor and battles torn,
There arose a war, fierce and grand,
Between Greek warriors and a distant land.
A city prosperous, ruled by a king,
Its walls strong, like an eagle's wing,
But the Greeks, seeking glory and fame,
Sailed forth, their warriors aflame.
With spears held high and shields gleaming,
They arrived, their victory teeming,
Their leader, a hero of mighty might,
Achilles, a name that shook the night.
The king, in anguish, saw his city's plight,
His heart heavy, burdened with fright,
For the Greeks demanded a heavy cost,
The princess, his daughter, would be lost.
A hostage she became, a pawn in the game,
Her fate entwined in the war's fierce flame,
The king, torn between love and duty,
Pledged to protect her, no matter the cruelty.
The Greek warriors, with thunderous roar,
Marched towards the city's sacred door,
Their armor shining like the sun's embrace,
As they prepared to lay siege in this foreign place.
Days turned into weeks, weeks into months,
The city's defenders fought with all their fronts,
Their arrows whistling through the air,
Clashing swords, a symphony of despair.
Amidst the chaos, a hero emerged,
Strong and fierce, his spirit surged,
Hector, the prince, with honor and might,
Stood tall, ready to defend the city's light.
The battlefield trembled beneath his feet,
As he clashed with Greeks, their anger discreet,
He fought for his land, for his people's pride,
For the freedom that in their hearts did reside.
But the Greeks, relentless, pushed him back,
Their formation strong, an iron attack,
They sought Achilles, the invincible warrior,
Whose presence on the battlefield struck terror.
And so, the clash of titans began,
Hector and Achilles, the mightiest of men,
Their swords clashed, sparks filled the air,
As they fought with a fury beyond compare.
Their blades met with thunderous sound,
Each strike sending tremors underground,
Their hearts blazed, their resolve unbroken,
As they battled, their destinies awoken.
In the midst of the chaos, a plan was made,
To rescue the princess, to give her aid,
A band of brave warriors, in the dark of night,
Sailed towards the Greek ships, hidden from sight.
They slipped through the shadows, swift and sly,
Their mission clear, no room for a lie,
With hearts ablaze and swords in hand,
They struck, like lightning on a distant strand.
The princess, fearful, saw their approach,
Her heart filled with hope, a flickering torch,
They broke her chains, set her spirit free,
Promising to protect her, no matter the decree.
The battle raged on, with no end in sight,
Both sides locked in a deadly fight,
But the king, with his daughter safe and sound,
Made a decision that would forever astound.
He called for a truce, a ceasefire to embrace,
To end the bloodshed, to find a common space,
The Greeks, weary from the war's toll,
Agreed, their warrior spirit under control.
And so, the war with the Greek warriors ceased,
The city's walls stood strong, its beauty increased,
The princess returned, her heart filled with grace,
For she had witnessed bravery in the war's embrace.
The tale of the war and the Greek warrior's might,
Was etched in the annals, a beacon of light,
For it taught of honor, sacrifice, and love,
And the courage to rise, like the wings of a dove.
So let this epic poem forever remind,
Of the valor and battles left behind,
For in the face of war, it is our choice,
To rise above hatred, and find our voice.
