Love Is a Battlefield
And this pack of Trojans is unlucky
Troilus is nice young man who’s fallen for the town priestess, Cressida. Unfortunately, her father, Calkas, hates Troilus. And the town in question is Troy, which is in the tenth year of its infamous war with the Greeks. Oh, and Calkas just joined the other side. Thank Athene that Cressida’s uncle, Pandarus, is willing to act as go-between for the young lovers or else things could turn out badly – what’s that you say? There’s an Argossean prince named Diomede who also has the hots for Cressida? Oh, now it’s on! Which man do you think gets Calkas’ support?
