The Triumph of Troy

The Trojan War had come to an unexpected and historic conclusion—the day Heiron returned, alive and victorious. 

For the first time in history, Troy had not only withstood the might of Greece but had emerged triumphant. The invincible coalition of kings and warriors who once boasted of their impending conquest had been shattered. The Greeks had lost. 

And yet, they did not leave immediately. 

Among those who lingered was Odysseus, ever the tactician, who remained behind to discuss the aftermath of the war with King Priam. Though the Greeks had waged war, it was they who had been defeated, and with defeat came consequences. Troy would not let them retreat without exacting a price for the destruction they had brought upon its lands.
