Quote context

[...]

- Helen? Where is she?

- She's not here, Paris.

- Not here? Where?

- She's gone to the camp of the Greeks.

- To Menelaus?

- She was determined to end the destruction and restore you to the hearts of the Trojans.

- And you conspired with her...

- She was not a captive here, Paris, but a woman of self-determination, a queen with more courage than I would have had to sail against the tides of heaven.

- He shan't take her.

- The hour has passed, Paris. You can't prevent it.

- Wait, Trojans. You've returned the wife of Menelaus, but that isn't all your debt.

- Debt? We recognize no claim of debt.

- No?

- Then tell me who pays for the Greek blood shed on this plain?

- Trojan blood has paid in full.

- Trojan blood is not valid currency in Sparta, nor does it pay for the launching of a thousand ships.

- The terms of this truce were clearly stated. The return of Helen, in exchange for which you agreed to sail away from these shores.

- You trusting fools.

- Two things only will suffice: Half the treasury of Troy before we depart and after that, 1000 talents every year.

The goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, come down to Earth in mortal form. She will bring the disaster I have prophesied. Her name will be written in letters of fire. Helen. Helen of Troy.
I used to number the months by a battle, a pestilence, a famine. Now it's all one long nightmare.
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.
Father, please hear me. It is not the end of ruin, but the beginning.
