Trojan War

Homer wrote it down, and you too can read it today thanks to it being translated. Also archeologists are telling us what we did not know, Troy was apparently destroyed and rebuilt many times.

That would be the Iliad.

The most frequently cited and well-known of the accounts come from Homer and Virgil. Homer wrote the Iliad, which covered the final year of the siege of Troy, and the Odyssey, which is more or less a sequel, covering the events after the fall of Troy and the return of Odysseus to his home.

Virgil wrote the Aeneid, which was an account of the fall of Troy and the travels of a small band of refugees led by Aeneas.

Aeneas was a Trojan inside the city at the time of the 10-year-long Trojan war. He had married Creusa, son of King Priam, making him a prince of Troy. At the climax of the battle, he was asked by the gods of Troy to take them and some of the Trojan population to a new land where he could found them a new city. Therefore he did not fight in the final battle, but yes, as a Trojan of this time period, he was in the Trojan war.

Protesilaus .

Eris is the Goddess of Strife and Discord. Since she is so horrible, she was the only goddess Not invited to Peleus and Thetis's wedding. She has an apple inscribed with:" to the fairest" She went anyway and threw her apple there in rage. 3 goddesses claimed it was theirs: Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. They asked Zuess to judge who it belonged to, but he would take no part in it, so he sent them to Paris. They all had bribed him, Hera promised him to be ruler of Europe and Asia Minor. Athena promised to make him the greatest warrior. Aphrodite promised the most beautiful person in the world. Being young and foolish, Paris chose Aphrodite. The most beautiful person in the world was Helen of Sparta. She was married to Menelaus. Paris had to get Helen alone to make her his wife. When Menelaus was gone, Paris told Aphrodite to make Helen his. She did so. They ran away together. When Menelaus returned, he realized what happened and swore revenge. Thus began the Trojan War. Hope this helped you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poseidon, God of the ocean and one of the three main Greek gods

Troy is protected by its large wall around the city. It is either the soldiers destroy its wall or go inside the walls of Troy. Then Odysseus thought of building the Trojan horse with a plan of making the Trojans to bring it inside their city.

Hector sided with his country, Troy, but he did not want the war to take place. He felt that Paris, his brother, was foolish to steal Helen away from Menelaus and risk his country and countrymen in a meaningless war with Greece.

Yes, she was. She was in the beauty contest along with Hera and Athena, and won. For this, she gave Paris the love of the most beautiful girl on earth- Helen. Only problem- she was already married.

The Trojan war took a long time to end as Troy had a huge strong walland the gods helped both sides.

Yes! He survived and made it back home to his people wife and son.

Iphigenia was the daughter of Agamemnon and Clymnestra. Agamemnon is the high king of the Greeks and ruled over Mycenae. A prophecy said that in order for the boats to sail safely to Troy, Iphigenia must be sacrficed. So Agamemnon came up with the scheme that Iphigenia was to marry Achilles, a great hero, but at the "marriage", she sacrificed her instead. There are alternate endings on how Artemis took pity on Iphigenia and replaced her with a deer at the last minute, and then made Iphigenia her priestess or that Pan sacrificed himself instead of Iphigenia.

The Iliad and the Epic of Gilgamesh are all origin stories from some of humanity's most established civilizations.

TROY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prince Paris "kidnapped" Helen, the wife of Menelaus and took her to Troy. When Helen was married, her father, fearing the wrath of the princes that he did not marry Helen to, made every one of Helen's suitors swear to fight whoever dares to take Helen away from her husband. So when Paris took Helen to Troy, Agamemnon, Menelaus's older brother, took this chance and lead the Achaeans to fight Troy for Helen.

The Achaean Greeks looted western Asia Minor and captured the richest city Troy by a stratagem which got a posse of Greeks into the city in a large wheeled wooden horse made in god-like form, the intruders opening the gated in the middle of the night after a Trojan victory party.

She is the one who started it all. She threw a golden apple labeled 'To the fairest'.

Three of the goddesses competed for it. Aphrodite promised Paris (who judged the contest) that if he gave her the victory, she would get him the most beautiful woman in the world. She was queen Helen of Sparta.

Aphrodite helped Paris to abduct Helen to his home in Troy.

The Greeks wanted her back and started the Trojan war.

Hercules never existed yet during the trojan war.

Those heros were knowledgable. You wouldn't have lasted 10 years being dumb. The work strong in the mind as in the muscle. The were sly. Say quiet in the wooden horse for many hours was very hard. And they were brave. To risk yourself to return the fair Helen took much bravery and heart.

good attack by the people because they hid in the horse and came out while they were sleeping and like backstabbed them

Troy destroyed, and the loot and slaves taken back to Greece. And the Dorian Greeks and Sea peoples descended on Greece and the Mycenaeans displaced.

Paris was actually the one who started the Trojan War. He stole Menelaus's wife, Helen. King Priam was on his side. The Greeks ended the war by giving them a horse and attacking them. The Greeks ended the war by wining over the war.
