C03S03 The myth makers
Synopsis
The TARDIS arrives on the plains of Asia Minor, not far from the besieged city of Troy. On leaving the ship, the Doctor is mistaken for the mighty God Zeus, and escorted to the Greek army encampment. Meanwhile Steven and Vicki are captured by the Trojans; Steven is held prisoner as a spy, and Vicki is believed to have supernatural powers and is given two days to banish the Greeks and stop the war.
When the Doctor recalls the Trojan Horse myth, the trio find themselves and their destinies indavertently linked to history. However, not all of the TARDIS crew are destined to be leaving Troy...
