What is the summary of the fall of troy?
Eris (goddess of discord) crashed the wedding of Thetis and Pelleus because she wasn't invited. She rolled a golden apple inscribed with something like "to the most beautiful goddess." into the crowd of gods and goddesses. Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite wanted the apple. They asked Zeus to decide who could have the apple, therefore being the most beautiful. But he said, "Hell no! Let a mortal decide." So it was that Paris, a Prince of Troy, was chosen. Hera offered him political power, Athena offered him military glory, Aphrodite offered him the hand of the most beautiful woman. Being a guy, Paris chose Aphrodite's deal and gave her the apple. But he didn't cash in on his deal just then. It was only when Paris met Helen (and although it's unsure whether Paris wooed Helen and brought her to Troy, or he snatched her unwilling, Helen ended up in Troy.) did he take up the deal. Helen was King Menelaus's wife, a Greek king of Sparta and brother to Agamemnon (the most powerful king in Greece). Rightfully, Menelaus' was mad that his wife was stolen; he goes to his brother Agamemnon. "Let's wage war!" SOO the Greeks sail over and fight with the Trojans for 10 years. The Trojan walls are impenetrable. The Greeks decide to let it be known they are leaving, when they are in actuality sailing to a nearby island. They leave a large wooden horse, which the Trojans accept as a token of victory. Everyone's heard the story of how the horse is hollow and Greek soldiers, including Odysseus await inside. The soldiers spring when they're least expecting it, and open the gates to Troy, letting in the rest of their army that has arrived back on Troy's shore.
