Trojan War

Helen's age isn't given at any point.

It can be assumed, though, that she was married to Menelaus at a young age, maybe 16, had been married for a short time (not long enough to have borne him any children) before her abduction by Paris. The siege of Troy lasted 10 years, so it's reasonable to assume she was older than 26, but younger than 30.

Athena and Hera - because they lost the contest for the Golden Apple to Aphrodite (who then awarded the hand of Helen to Paris, starting the war)

Poseidon - Because Priam's father, Laomedon, did not repay him justly for building the walls of Troy.

Hermes - Because mythologically, Hermes represented the Wind, which is always opposed to the Sun, Apollo, and Apollo sided with the Trojans because they built him a massive temple (which the Greeks defiled and sacked)

Hephaestus - Because Aphrodite and her lover, Ares, sided with the Trojans.

Thetis - Because she is the mother of Achilles by Pelus, both Achaeans (Greeks).

Paris of Troy killed Achilles in the Trojan war by shooting a poisoned arrow into his heel, the only part of him that wasn't protected. This is where we get the phrase "Achilles heel".

No. The Greeks involved were the Mycenaean Greeks, which is pretty much just the southern tip and the Peloponnese. Agamemnon was either the king of Argos or Mycenae (perhaps both), and Menelaus was the king of Sparta. Odysseus was the king of Ithaca, Ajax the king of Salamis, and Achilles king of the Myrmidons. Now, while this may have represented MOST of the power of Greece at the time, it was hardly all inclusive. The only reason so many went to war is because Agamemnon and Menelaus were powerful and influential kings and the others paid tribute to them.

The Trojan War began when the goddess of chaos wrote "To the fairest" on her golden apple and threw it an equal distance from Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Each claimed the apple because they thought they were the fairest, and they decided to have Paris, a Trojan prince, determine who the fairest was. They all bribed him to convince him to pick themselves, and he chose Aphrodite, who offered him the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Troy. She was married to King Minelaus, who was Greek. She and Paris ran off together and that started the Trojan War (the phrase 'the face that launched a thousand ships' refers to Helen's beauty and this war). The Trojan War lasts for several years, and eventually the Greeks are surrounding Troy, but they can't get through the defensive walls. The Greeks left a giant wooden horse right outside of Troy and they sailed all of their ships just a few miles away, far enough away to be out of sight. They wanted the Trojans to think that they went home and they left the wooden horse as an offering to Poseidon, the god of the ocean, for a safe trip home. The Trojans saw the horse, and took it into the city, thinking they could burn it later and celebrate their victory over the Greeks. When night came, the soldiers in the horse snuck out and opened the gates of Troy. The Greeks stormed through Troy, killed most of the Trojans, and burned everything in Troy. Very few Trojans escaped, and the Greeks won the Trojan War.

Today, a Trojan horse signifies a gift from an enemy that will only bring you harm, like the computer virus, which pretends to be a harmless file so you will download it, but then it attacks your computer.

King Agamemnon.

The city of Troy was sacked and burned. Any horse would have been made out of wood and destroyed in the fire that consumed the city... provided there ever even was a horse.

Livy, the Roman historian, referenced the Trojan War in his works, particularly in the context of Rome's legendary origins. He suggested that the war paved the way for the eventual founding of Rome, as it led to the escape of Aeneas, a Trojan hero, who became a foundational figure in Roman mythology. Livy's accounts highlight the belief that Romans were descendants of Trojans, linking their identity to the epic tales of heroism and destiny associated with the war. This connection served to elevate Rome's status and legitimacy in the ancient world.

"The Greek city of Troy."

First of all, Troy was not a Greek city. While it may have had roots as a colony, and may have even shared a language, it did not associate itself with the other Greek city-states. It had its own king and lands, and payed tribute to no one.

As for the war, No one surrendered. Troy was defeated by being razed to the ground by the Greek Army. The ruling line was killed to the man (in fact, the infant son of Hector was thrown from the city walls), as were all the noble men (who weren't already killed). The rest were taken into slavery, or fled to the coast to escape the city's destruction.

Those who survived traveled across the Mediterranean to the coast of Italy and founded the settlement of Alba Longa.

He was the Priest of Apollo during the Trojan war and the Sack of Troy. He appears in book 2 of Aeneid

Because Helen of Troy was taken by Paris.

Agamemnon King of Argos.

The j is the fourth to the last consonant.

The survivors were, depending upon what or who you mean, either enslaved Trojans or conquering Greeks, though the premise of the Aeneid is that noble Aeneas escaped with a few Trojans and eventually founded the Roman race.

This is a very open ended and ambiguous question as stated, perhaps you could help define the terms a little more. Generally, Trojan men were killed, some women were enslaved, and Greek men were beset by troubles or death on the way home for their impiety.

The best source for the greatest number of survivors would be to read the Odyssey, which tells the story of the most famous survivor, and includes numerous side stories which tell us what happened to various individuals after the fall of Troy.

No it was Odysseus. Achilles was the muscle, Odysseus was the brain.

She ran off with her Trojan lover Paris, leaving her husband King Menelaos behind in Sparta, but stealing most of his portable property to take with her. After the Greeks took Troy ten years later, Menelaos brought Helen back home with him, and more importantly, the property too.

Her character lies at the heart of a dispute between Achilles and Agamemnon that drives the plot of Homer's Iliad.

She was pictured as the perfect wife of Hector. Otherwise she had no part in it. She's a woman.
