Trojan War

13

the Trojan War was said to have taken place around 1200 BC

The beautiful Elena, the wife of King Agamemnon of Athenes, fell in love with the younger son of King Pryam of Troy.

she sided with the Greeks

Helen

Well, people are still debating, because we still have no historical evidence that it happened. But there is evidence that a fight did break out. So we're still not sure about it.

Hey, you might be from yc cause of our book report but i hope this works anyway.

During a pause Menelaus and Paris get in a fight. Aphrodite then took Paris in a could and took him back to Troy. Menelaus was angry and went through the Trojan ranks seeking Paris, and not a man there but would have helped him for they all hated Paris, but h was gone, no one knew how or where. So Agamemnon spoke to both armies, declaring that Menelaus was victor and bidding that the Trojans give Helen back. This was just, and the Trojans would have agreed if Athena, at Hera's prompting , has not interfered. Hera was determined that the war should not end until Troy was ruined. Athena , sweeping down to the battlefield, persuaded the foolish hear of Pandarus, a Trojan, to break the truce and shoot an arrow at Menelaus. He did wso and wounded him, only slightly, but the Greeks in reage at the Treachery turned upon the Trojans and the battle was on again.

Hope this helps. From the book Mythology by Edith Hamilton,pg 192

The best guess we can make from the very imperfect sources is that the Achaians (Greeks) made a series of piratical raids in the east of the Aegean Sea. The legendary sources say that an initial attempt was made on Troy but failed. They then pillaged the islands and coast of Asia Minor, returning in the tenth year to Troy when there was nothing else to loot elsewhere. The second attack was successful.

The Illiad takes place on the tenth year of the siege of Troy.

Agammemnon was the main king-but there were many minor kings including menelaus and odysseseus

it was fought over land

About 1194 to 1184 BCE.

The Trojan horse was made a long time ago, back in Ancient Greece.

Well, for one, historians are not even sure that the Trojan war even existed. They think that they may have found the site on which the city was built, but this is just an estimated area, as there were several cities built on top.<br>However, if the war was a real one, then it is assumed that inter-Greece warring would still continue on for centuries as is what happened anyways.

the Trojan war lasted for 10 years not 9 when the Greeks created the Trojan horse

The Greeks looted the coast and islands for ten years, finally capturing and destroying the rich city of Troy. The area was subsequently settled by Greek cities established there by the mainland Greek cities to solve their overpopulation problems.

These daughter cities became the centre of problems between Persia and Greece when Persia included the cities of Asia Minor, the Islands and the Black Sea into its empire and the mainland Greek mother cities started to assist their revolts against Persian rule.

None. The world went on after this insignificant blip. But it became a great story for the bards to sing about and make a living from, and in a pre-television age, their performances were great entertainment.

The best guess from the poor evidence we have is:

1. Greek fleet from the cities which participated arrived at western Asia Minor.

2. An attempt on Troy failed.

3. For ten years the coast and islands were pillaged.

4. In the tenth year another attempt on Troy succeeded and the city was looted and destroyed and the inhabitants enslaved.

Paris of Troy abducted Helen who was the wife of Menelaus.

The list is long. First you should read the epics - Iliad and Odyssey for the basic list. This gives mainly the heroes and aristocrats, but rarely mentions any of the mass of footsoldiers and lower class people. There are other later sources - if you want more, ask.
