The Three Principles...

1. Honour the Gods

2. Love your woman

3. Defend your Country!


"I have abided by three principles all my life".. so said the great Hector, prince of Troy, son of Priam. Great indeed he was.. a great son, a great brother, a great husband, and a greater warrior - one of the mightiest that mythology has ever seen, Greek or otherwise. He really was "the ideal man".. bold and selfless. He fought against the Gods, knowing that he would die, but still he fought. So when Achilles killed him, Troy fell. He died.. but not before establishing himself as one of the greatest battlers of all times. Yet whenever the story of Troy is told, Achilles emerges as the hero, the shining star, over the real hero, the true son of Troy - Hector.

Like Hector said, "Sometimes the Gods bless you, and sometimes they desert you when you need them most.."
