6 Warned by Hector's Ghost
In the dead of night Hector's ghost appeared to warn Æneas of the impending doom to come upon the walled city of Troy. Æneas lifted his aged father on his back and, taking his son by the hand, sought safety in flight. Off to Latium!
(H. Schliemann, discoverer of ancient Troy, born Jan. 6, 1822.)

Very cool. Printed it out at work.
Two sides, the Greeks and Trojans. The Greeks beseige and overcome Troy by a ruse, with a treacherous Greek left behind to convince them. The Gods look on.
