Paris is hunted by the Greeks and returns to his former life leaving Helen without an ally in Troy just as the investigation of her gathers momentum. The Trojans attempt to take advantage of divisions within the Greek camp.
Paris runs from the duel, fleeing to the hills where he was brought up, Pandarus suggesting to him not to return. Priam feels guilty about the duel, leading to discord with his children. As Breisis gets closer to Achilles a plan is devised to capture Paris whilst Hector gives the Spartans an ultimatum. Nonetheless a stalemate occurs and Paris fails to find help from the gods.—don @ minifie-1
