To give credit where credit is due; I am greatly inspired by Rosemary Sutcliff's books, and I doubt I would have written that without her influence.

I do think that Hector was the hero of the whole mess, and Paris would win the prize for stupidest, most annoying little brother hands down. <br /><br />You're welcome, and I'll be anticipating the next challenge.

Quite a story to fit in under 10,000 words :) Hector was always one of my favorite characters from the Illiad and I liked how you told the tale from his point of view. And you seriously write a detestable Paris! The little snotty brat! That's always how I viewed him ;) I really liked the visuals in this story too, very classic. Thanks for taking part in this challenge, Abigail!Hazel Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234157921832851920noreply@blogger.com
