Synopsis by Hal Erickson

In the first episode of the four-part story "The Myth Makers," the TARDIS lands on a sandy plain somewhere in Greece. Disembarking, the Doctor (William Hartnell) soon learns that his ship has been plunked in the middle of the Trojan War. Even sooner, the Doctor is mistaken for the great god Zeus -- and his travelling companion, Steven (Peter Purves), is thrown into prison. Adrienne Hill joins the cast as the Doctor's new travelling companion, Katarina. Written by Donald Cotton, "The Temple of Secrets" first aired on October 16, 1965; unfortunately, only a brief fragment is known to presently exist.
