Ares, Apollon, Artemis, and Aphrodite all sided with the Trojans.

No. Circe transforms nearly half (22) of Odysseus' men into swine, but reverts them afterwards. Elpenor falls off of Circe's roof, after a night of drinking, and dies, but that is not Circe's fault.

The city of Troy, also called Ilion.

Aeneas' first wife was Creusa, with whom he had a son, Iulius (from which the Julian line got it's name). Creusa died as Aeneas was fleeing the city, and she predicted he would marry a foreign woman in the future. That woman was Lavinia, daughter of Latinus, king of the Latin people.

He did also have a year long affair with Dido, Queen of Carthage, but they never married. Before he could take vows with her, Mercury was sent to remind him of his mission from Jupiter.

Several goddesses were worshipped by men who were deficient for procreation, including the Greek Artemis, the Babylonian Innana, the Akkadian Ishtar, and the Canaanite Asherah. But the goddess best known in ancient Rome for having castrated and eunuch priests was Cybele, and her priests were known as galli.

Another Amazon mentioned in mythology is Penthesilea. According to legend, this daughter of Ares accidentally killed her sister Hippolyte while hunting, and went to Troy to seek absolution. This occurs at the time of the Trojan War, so she joins with the Trojans in their fight against the Greeks. When Achilles encounters her in battle, he kills her. However, after the fact, he falls in love with the dead Amazon, and kills another Greek soldier, Thersites, for jeering at Achilles for falling in love with her.

Heinrich Schliemann's excavations at Hissarlik at the end of the nineteenth century revealed a series of late bronze-age cities approximately on the site where Troy had always assumed to have stood.

There is ongoing debate about which of these cities was the actual Troy (several of them had been destroyed by military action) - but nobody seriously argues that Troy was mythical anymore.

Moira are the Fates, Cthonic Deities which are responsible for creating a sense of 'order' in the Iliad. Zeus accesses the Fates by using scales, when determining the fate of two men in battle or in the case of Troy and Greeks, the fate of civilisations. Men who are 'fated' to die in the Iliad are not even able to be saved by the gods, such as Sarpedon who died even though he was the son of Zeus.

Yes. Poseidon greatly favoured the Greeks in the Trojan war, and in some versions he is said to have given Odysseus the idea for the Trojan horse.

Because andromaches' father and brothers were killed by Achilles, her mother taken prisoner and ransomed. #2 answ: Andromache's father and brothers were killed by Achilleswhen he captured Thebe during the Trojan War; her mother was spared and ransomed, but died in Troy before its fall. During the seige of Troy, Achilles also killed her husband, Hector, and then desecrated his body.

Achilles

It is sometimes known as the Shame Culture, where it was shameful to fail, or better known as the Success Culture, which was succeed at all costs.

There are several versions of the death of Ajax the greater. According to one story, after the death of Achilles there was a dispute as to who should receive his armor; it was claimed both by Ajax (Aias) and Odysseus. Either the other Greek leaders put it to the vote or, according another version, they entrusted the decision the Helenus, the captive Trojan seer. At all events, the armor went to Odyssues. Thereupon Aias planned a night-attack on his own allies; but Athena drove him and so that he killed a flock of sheep instead. When he came to himself, shame and remorse drove him to slay himself with his sword.

Another version says he was killed by Paris by an arrow. It is also said that he was buried alive by the Trojans. Yet another version recounted that he was murmured by Odysseus.
