before we turn him over to the soldiers.
Women! Why warm a man
to cut his throat?
Cover him up, quickly.
We're looking for our sovereign lady,
the Queen of Sparta.
She came to the shore
to visit a nurse of her childhood days.
-My lady.
-l left orders not to be disturbed here.
But there are certain developments
which make this beach unsafe today.
A strange ship was sighted
running out of the storm.
We couldn't go after her.
Heavy seas.
She might have been Trojan.
lt's possible she left spies.
You see Trojan phantoms everywhere.
-This was no phantom ship.
-The emblem of the royal House of Troy.
The king would want me to insist
that his queen return at once.
lnform King Menelaus
that Cora is taking excellent care of me.
Go along now.
Very well, my lady.
Andraste!
-Andraste, help us carry this man.
-A man, my lady?
How interesting!
-l can't risk hiding a Trojan.
-Yes.
What if he's a warrior and only
pretending? You must be careful.
Women who are always careful
miss much in life, Andraste.
He doesn't seem to recover.
But his heart beats.
Give him some broth,
and we'll turn him over.
-Good.
-Oh, no! They'll kill him.
-l still say good.
-And l, too, would say so. . .
-. . .if he were as unattractive as you.
-Thank you.
To whom am l indebted
for this gallant defense?
Nobody of importance.
l am only a slave.
Now tell us about yourself, Trojan.
Did l mention that?
My memory is clouded.
But l do recall l thought you a vision.
A goddess.
Dear Aphrodite. . .
. . .allow me to present myself.
-Prince Paris of Troy.
-We'll dispense with impudence.
You're a bit impudent yourself
for whatever you are, a slave?
-Silence! You're addressing--
-A slave of the palace, Andros.
Of what importance is that?
l tell you truly, l am Prince Paris.
l come to offer a treaty of peace
to King Menelaus.
But of course, you don't believe me.
My articles of identity. . .
. . .all the gifts l was bringing
to the Court of Sparta. . . .
My crew won't come near
They'll swear the gods
hurled lightning at me.
Perhaps l do believe you.
The sea has damaged your appearance,
but not your manner.
You must leave here at nightfall.
Follow the coast. You'll reach a cove
where Phoenician ships put in.
-No. l still have a mission.
-Do as l tell you!
Our soldiers have a habit
of plunging a dagger into strangers.
And why should that worry you?
Never mind. The feelings
of a slave are of no importance.
They are to me.
ln any place but Sparta,
one so fair would be a queen.
ln Troy, we'd make songs about you.
King Menelaus would not permit
that here.
Because you'd make
his queen look plain.
