Many moons ago, in a place that is now half buried, lived a humble man named Dolan. Dolan had a wife called Ariadne and a son called Axanax. Dolan had been attacked by the Greeks once but this was different, they had burned his ships and his house so they all had to escape quickly.

Dolan had been searching in the forest for wood and strangely found a spear in the bushes and took it. Dolan had only one choice, he sold the spear! Athena was furious that Dolan had stolen her spear.

Dolan was the happiest man on earth, he sold the spear to and old man called Taj, from that spear he took the money and built a glamorous city, it was made from the finest white and black marble, the floors were plated gold. He had pride in himself and Athena could tell.

Three years past and Dolans city was complete. then all of a sudden Athena came down from mount Olympus to say to not have pride in yourself and also to give back her spear “ you will regret this” she whispered , but Dolan did not listen to what she had said.

One summers glistening day Dolan was admiring his city when a couple of warn out soldiers from the Trojan army came to his town, Dolan just looked at them in disgust “you are a mess get out of here I have just got these streets done go away!” he shouted loudly, the scuttled away like a rat being seen, tut tut tut should of known stupid soldiers. Athena was furious!

Athena came down to talk to Dolan “how dare you chuck a poor couple out of your streets you are despicable” he had not been scared about what she had said because he had been in the Trojan war and he was not hurt or injured. Suddenly a storm hit the city, everyone ran out the city “come back”! He said. Suddenly he got smashed against the city wall as hard as Athena’s strength could do, Dolans last sight was his luxurious city crumbling to pieces. Ariadne and Axanax wailed for their lovely father.
