When the jealous pharaoh Hathset discovers a member of his harem conducting an illicit affair with a scribe he places a curse on them. Little does he know this act will not only impact their destinies but ultimately that of the world's.
____________...
In princess heart there love then grew That rest of realm did not behoove For emp'ror heard the Grecian heir Beyond her mortal kin was fair
And sought her hand the only one Effront enough to deem he's won The right to wed the fairest dame That eastern rome those days did claim
But Aurostousa such refused Though man the right of throne abused And princess knew it's prudent tact To always walk the pliant act
When faced with men whose power exceeds Restraint their gave when doing deeds But though her qualms advised refrain Can mind forbid what heart ordains?
A hopeless choice the heiress's gave To lose her love or gain the grave So war then came to eastern rome With heirs of Greece against their throne.
And many machine inward poured That Byzantine did use for chore The trebuchet that only men From eastern rome at time did send
Or ever craft then went to fight To aid the work of all their knights And Grecian flames they both were gave That Hebrew man from Syria made
Who's Callinicus name preserved Through song and tales that men have heard And also grenades men did use When other side they did abuse
And slings on staffs they also plied When each with other man did via. And war beyond it's time did hold The horrors modern men may know.
And Erotokitos went on steed In armor dressed as king did heed To battle long against their foes Who many sorrows did bestow.
And lo as warring grew at length And each on other flexed their strength So Heracles who ruled then Greece, And daughter kept from those who peace
Had stripped away by dint of hand Because she would not give to band Of marriage to the lord that deigns That woman vows of love would feign,
Then comes to harm beneath the flames Opposing side had brought to tame The Grecian forces gone to fend Their homes from fellow Roman men.
And none the courage owned to brave The fiery foe that'd grant them grave But Erotokitos riding steed Who fear for self did dare not heed.
A grisly wound then did endure No mortal craft at time could cure To save his king from ranks of foe Though thing would grant him many woe.
Heracles is not the Heracles from Greek myth I presume that this Heracles had to be named after him or something. But this story is strictly in the medieval era.
