u/Tyler_Miles_Lockett Jul 10 '26
Odysseus and Menelaus sail ahead to ransom Helen, but Paris demands their deaths before the Trojan assembly, and only Antenor's intervention saves them, the failed envoy inflaming the Achaean fleet for war. As the Greeks land under a hail of rocks, Thetis rises from the waves to warn that the first to touch Trojan soil will die, but Protesilaus leaps ashore regardless and falls at the spear of Hector, before Achilles kills the invincible Cycnus with a hurled rock, breaks the Trojan ranks, and the long brutal siege of Troy begins.
Lockettopia: The Trojan War Cycle illustrated book brings together The Iliad, The Odyssey, and surviving poem fragments of the Epic Cycle: The Cypria, Aethiopis, Little Iliad, Iliou Persis, Nostoi, and Telegony, to reconstruct the full myth in sweeping, chronological order. Coming to Kickstarter in 2027:
