Before Troy Burns: The Queen and the Seer: All Episodes

The Story

The massive wooden horse dominates the gates of Troy during the tenth year of the war, while the city erupts in celebration for this supposed gift from the gods. Helen, known as the face that launched a thousand ships, stands beside Cassandra, the mad priestess whose warnings go entirely unheard. Only these two women hear the clink of armor inside the beast. Forced from bitter enemies into sworn allies, they outwit the royal court and open secret tunnels to evacuate women and children. They fight for survival against divine will and royal pride as the horse finally breaks open. Hell descends upon the city. Helen is imprisoned in Sparta, where she tears up the victors’ lies. Meanwhile, Cassandra is trapped in Mycenae, staring death in the face without ever bowing. They cannot win a war already lost, but they claim their own fates.
