'Things won are done; joy's soul lies in the doing.'

The Trojan War: against a background of daily death, love blossoms. But when politics comes into play, which will conquer: private desire or patriotism? This is an exploration of sex, power and betrayal at its most raw - where an act of loyalty towards one will mean the betrayal of another.
