The Princess Of Sparta: Heroes Of The Trojan War - Plot & Excerpts
The stoic man barely said a word, even when given a direct question. After a few failed attempts at conversation, Paris fell silent. Thus far, the Mycenaeans seemed as chilly as their cold stone halls.After a short walk down several narrow corridors, they arrived in the eastern wing of the palace where the royal apartments were housed. His chambers were accommodating but snug, its walls built in the same thick defensive style as the rest of the palace. Paris was given a main room with two connected sleeping chambers. The suite had an open-air balcony that looked over the inner courtyard one story below. By the lack of adornment, he suspected the rooms typically housed non-royal visitors or vassal leaders. Definitely a strange choice for an ambassador who was usually afforded a ruler’s best.A small repast was set for him in the apartments, a haunch of roast mutton and a decanter of mulled wine. Sparse, but satisfying. After his cool reception in the harbor, he wondered if Agamemnon was purposely restricting his hospitality, or if Paris’ visit had really taken the Mycenaean by surprise.
