Agamemnon brother who is the King of Sparta request him for help in war and he agreed immediately.

Next night Achilles came back to rescue the girl. With this Achilles frustrated and decided to go back but his cousin doesn't want to go back as he wants to fight against the army and he started the war against the army of the opponent in this time he dresses up like Achilles in this war he died. While Achilles learns his cousin died in war he became furious and came in front of the castle of Troy and challenges Hector for fighting. This fighting screen is very very amazing.

After 12 days one of the warrior plans to make a big horse made of wood and tried to send this under the castle as the wall of the castle is too hard to break.

- Don't trust any enormous gifts from strangers. You have no clue what in it. Don't accept gifts from strangers.
- Women can destroy everything. ( Helen became the only reason for the war.)
- The world is full of opportunists.
- We all should try to be a Hector not Paris.
- IF you are courageous and hardworking like Achilles you definitely won.
- War is the most evil thing in the world. Any kind of war can just bring destruction and sorrow. (After the death of the cousin of Aschilies, Aschilies realize the truth.)
- Never judge a book by its cover. (In the very beginning scene of the movie we can find the example.
- In the end of every war both the opponent loses.
