It's been a long time since the war between the Greeks and
Trojans commenced. But at last it seems each side is pushing to end this war as
soon as possible, victoriously. Of course as a God I have the privilege of
helping determine the outcome in whichever way I like. Now I like to think I
keep a good balance and avoid favoritism but there's two things that sway my
decision making. First is the weight of their fate. Second is the manner in
which they act and fight on the battlefield. Honor and courage go a long ways.
For example, Agamemnon taking captive Briseis from his prized warrior Achilles.
Agamemnon is too bull headed to think one man will make a difference, but it
does and Achilles absence from fighting as a response to that allows the
Trojans to gain momentum. The battle hasn't even begun yet though. Despite my
wife/sister Hera supporting the Greeks, I was faced with a decision to help the
Trojans based upon Agamemnon's actions. So I send him a fake lucid dream, where
he believes he must attack Troy at once and the city will finally fall.
Idiotically, the man testing the morale of his troops, tells them they're
heading home. Not as Agamemnon had planned, everyone ran to the ships instead
of being outraged by giving up the fight. Luckily, Odysseus intervened and
stopped a rout by encouraging the troops, and they avoided a complete takeover.
