Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts
Xena is summoned by Helen of Troy to help end the bitter ten-year-long war between the Greeks and the Trojans. Helen, the beautiful Queen of Troy, awakens from a recurring nightmare in which she is about to be murdered by a dark and mysterious warrior. At her side, Paris, the handsome ruler of Troy, reassures her that victory is at hand in the Trojan’s war with the Greeks. Helen is not consoled, however, and privately dispatches her personal guard Miltiades to find Xena and bring her to Troy to help end the conflict. Not far from the city, Xena and Gabrielle come upon Miltiades as he is being attacked by three hooded men. Xena jumps into the fray but is unable to save the life of the guard, who relays Helen’s message with his dying breath. Xena sets out for Troy with an excited Gabrielle, who can’t wait to meet the legendary Helen.
