“My father carried this sword, and his father before him, all the way...”

A scene from Troy 2004

[giving Paris the Sword of Troy]

My father carried this sword, and his father before him, all the way back to the founding of Troy. The history of our people was written with this sword. Carry it with you tomorrow. The spirit of Troy is in that sword. So long as a Trojan carries it, our people have a future.

Priam I loved my boy from the moment he opened his eyes until the moment you closed them. Let me wash his body. Let me say the prayers. Let me place two coins on his eyes for the boatman. Priam No father ever had a better son. Ajax I am Ajax, breaker of stones! Look upon me and despair!
