Meanwhile, in the TARDIS, Vicki and Steven have watched the Doctor being led away. Odysseus pours scorn on Achilles' claim that the Doctor is Zeus and marches the Doctor back to camp, claiming that he is a Trojan spy. Achilles tells Odysseus to ask Zeus if he doesn't believe him. Achilles tells Odysseus that he killed Hector, but Odysseus is disbelieving. While they are having this discussion, the Doctor and Achilles are interrupted by Odysseus. The Doctor tries to return to the TARDIS, which he refers to as his "temple", but Achilles pleads for the Doctor to stay in order to help them seek victory over the Trojans. The Doctor plays along with this assumption to make Achilles feel guilty about slaying Hector. Achilles immediately assumes the Doctor is Zeus, citing his sudden appearance coupled with the fact that his presence seemingly aided him in killing his foe as proof positive. Achilles uses this opportunity to kill Hector, much to the Doctor's anger. As he emerges from the TARDIS, he distracts Hector. Eventually, the Doctor decides to intervene. For a protracted length of time, the Doctor and his companions observe the fight between the two men. The warriors are so engaged in their battle that they fail to notice the TARDIS materialise behind them. Outside Troy, two warriors, who reveal themselves to be Achilles and Hector, are engaged in a long fight. Vicki, believed to possess supernatural powers, is given two days to banish the Greeks to prove she is not a spy. Steven and Vicki, meanwhile, have been taken prisoner by the Trojans.
Forced to admit he is a mere mortal - albeit a traveller in space and time - he is given two days to devise a scheme to capture Troy.
When the TARDIS arrives on the plains of Asia Minor not far from the besieged city of Troy, the Doctor is hailed by Achilles as the mighty god Zeus and taken to the Greek camp.
