Quote context

[...]

- Here was Troy 3000 years ago, a city of destiny so situated that it dominated the Hellespont, today known as the Dardanelles.

- This was the only sea route to and from the east. As a result, Troy grew prosperous, a tempting prize of war for the Greek nations.

- The Trojans had long memories of the time when the Greeks, led by Sparta, had pillaged and burned the city of their fathers.

- They had prepared strong defenses against the possibility of future assault.

- That is why new Troy, their rebuilt city, was guarded by mighty walls, an impregnable shelter for a happy people in love with beauty.

- In the palace square and the busy streets, the industrious citizens were enjoying the works of peace, as though this carefree era would last forever.

- There was Lord Aeneas, nephew of King Priam, on his way to the palace where the future of Troy was being weighed by the royal council.

- And so we've locked out the understanding of nations and we've locked in the poison.

- Trojans jumping at every rumor, pointing fingers at each other.

- I tell you there's only one solution.

Nothing endures on Earth, Paris, neither sorrow nor happiness or people in love.
I wonder what the women look like. -My profound Cousin Aeneas. -To think deeply, Paris, one must think of women. They bring all life into the world and much death. They sway the destinies of men. -Not my destiny.
