In the beginning there existed on the vast and desolate plain of Phrygia nothing but the relentless whistling of the north wind, the capricious and ancestral flow of the waters of the Simois and the Scamander, and the constant roar of an Aegean Sea that did not yet know the keel of ships or the weight of human ambitions. It was an unspoiled and wild territory, bathed in the golden light of the Anatolian sun and guarded in the distance by the towering peaks of Mount Ida, whose forests held the secrets of the earth before men learned to pronounce the name of the gods.
But the cosmos does not tolerate the emptiness of glory. From the inaccessible heights of Olympus, where the ambrosiac nectar fills the golden cups and the judgment of Zeus governs the destiny of the worlds, the immortals set their eyes on that crossroads between East and West. They understood then that the earth demanded a center of gravity, a superb bastion that would serve as a mirror between mortal fragility and celestial eternity. Thus, before the first king erected a wall or melted the bronze in the forge, the fates had already traced in the great book of destiny the foundations of Ilium.
This first book, conceived with the density of ancient epics and the temperance of a lofty word, narrates the absolute genesis of that primordial lineage. Detailed here are the solemn pacts with Apollo and Poseidon, the cyclopean architecture that defied the elements, the advent of the first monarchs, and the consecration of a valley where civilization and myth merged forever. Enter these lines, reader, with the reverent respect of someone who crosses the threshold of a sacred temple, because here begins the path to immortal legend.
