Hello Everyone!

I have been hiding in my room lately, with my heart full of sorrow and grief for all the soldiers we have lost in this battle because of my wrongdoing. My love, Helen, and my brother, Hector, talked me into fighting, insisting I was acting like a little baby. As we were returning to battle, the Gods decided to end the battle for the day. Hector decided to challenge an Achaean to a duel, and Ajax was the chosen one. The duel began to no ones conquest, but then Hector got wounded! Hector, with a ready sword and face full of ferocity, went straight at a ready Ajax. All of a sudden, the Gods decided to call of the duel. After all of that, my brother and Ajax became friends! Later on I was asked to give up Helen, I refused, but agreed to give back everything else I took from Sparta. The Greeks, not thinking that was a good enough compromise, refused our offer. The next day both sides decided that we would take the day to bury our lost soldiers. I heard that the "all mighty" Zeus decided to help us out, knowing full well that Hera would not appreciate it. My brother, in full battle mode, went looking for some Achaean to fight and found Nestor. Hector was eyeing him up ready to strike, when Nestor was saved by Diomedes. Hector achieved his moment when Teucer, an Achaean soldier who killed many of our people, was in his line of vision. Hector wounded him, and saved many Trojan's lives. At the end of the day, all of our soldiers camped outside our city walls. We lit many campfires, so that the Greeks, if they were to come close, would be seen by all of us.


Hector, having lit the last campfire, is ready to dominate the Greek army. That attitude seems to be spread throughout all of camp, leaving us hungry for blood and victory. Even though I am not the strongest or most heroic of my people, I still have hope that we can win this, and that maybe I will have something to show for it once the battle has finished. Hector wants to set fire to the ships, which could symbolize the death of the future for the Greeks. Most of the Greeks have come to fight, and if we scorch their transportation, they will get stuck here, and die in battle. With the confidence from Hector, and the help from the Gods, we feel like the battle is all but won.

Until next time...
