- For all the armies and men the Greek King Mennaleas ( hope I spelt that right,....lol) commanded. The movie says 50,000 men has descended on Troy under Mennaleas' command.
- For all the gold Mennaleas got from the sacking of the Temple of Apollo
- For all the power he had, or think he had......
The King of Troy Priam had one thing that Mennaleas did not have.
Priam had .....honour.
Achilles told Priam "You are a far better king than the one leading this (the Greek) army".
For even in the face of war, death, defeat, sadness, and the loss of his son Hector,.....Priam was still steadfastly willing to DO WHAT WAS RIGHT.
To not be hateful.
To not be treacherous.
To not be deceitful.
To not be wicked.
People lament in these times,..."times have changed"....they say.
Is it that honour died with Achilles ( who was cowardly killed by Paris) .... and with Priam??
Like Odysseua, I too hope to walk with giants .....IN THIS AGE.....
men and women with the spirits of Hector,
of Achilles
of Priam.
Men and women ...... of honour.
