Quotes 

• Priam : [on seeing the Greek naval fleet approaching]  The face that launched a thousand ships!

• Priam : Arise, Paris. And go.

  High Priest : The virgin Cassandra does make one point that causes me much concern. Prince Paris, it appears, gives all his worship to one goddess alone, Aphrodite.

  Paris : I'm not sure I worship anything. Now, admiration is the better word. Admiration for the beauty of a marble image.

• Cassandra : Father, please hear me. This is not the end of ruin, but, the beginning.

  Priam : We must not be ungrateful to a Goddess who has proved herself our Goddess. Bring in her sacred horse. It shall be a monument to Trojan valor.
