Eyes of Wakanda Episode 2 "Legends and Lies" Details
Executive Producer: Ryan Coogler
Series helmed by: Todd Harris
Episode Written by: Marc Bernardin
Episode Directed by: John Fang
Spoiler Filled Synopsis: In 1190 B.C., the famous attack on the heavily fortified City of Troy by Odysseus is taking place. Each attack is repulsed by the Trojan forces, even those led by the legendary Achilles and his band of Myrmidons.
After another failed attempt to storm Troy, Achilles and his trusted friend and right hand man Memnon collect their thoughts around the campfire. Despite the deep brotherhood between Achilles and Memnon, Ferris, another member of the Myrmidons, is suspicious of Memnon who is an outsider.
Despite Achilles' trust in Memnon, little does he know that Memnon is a War Dog from Wakanda. He is at the siege of Troy to recover a Wakandan pendant from around the neck of Helen of Troy.
As the Myrmidons, led by Achilles, attempt another attack on Troy this time using Odysseus’ Trojan Horse tactic. They successfully infiltrate the city and let the rest of the Greek army in to attack. But the alarm is raised and in the ensuing battle Achilles sees Memnon peel away towards the palace as he is surrounded by the Trojan forces and left for dead.
Memnon recovers the purple amulet but is seen by Achilles who escaped the Trojans. Achilles believes he's been betrayed and that Memnon is in fact a Trojan spy. They fight one another and following blow after blow between the two Memnon cuts his friend’s heel. Despite slowing Achilles down, Memnon cannot convince his friend to stand down and as the fight rages Achilles is killed by Memnon who places the coins on his friends eyes for the ferryman.
Six months later, back in Wakanda, B’Kai (aka Memnon) tells the leader of the War Dogs, Noni, that the mission to Troy has left its mark and he feels like a stranger in his own home as he remembers his deceased friend, Achilles.
