Troy

Whether or not they actually beseiged Troy for a decade is a matter of some debate. That said, Troy was the only other major power left in the region after the decline of the Minoans. Conquering Troy would give the Myceneans (the dominant power in Greece at the time) a solid foothold on the entire region.

In fact, it's probably that event that solidified Greece enough to become the seed for Western Civilization as we know it. Additionally, it's widely accepted that the Trojan refugees traveled across the sea to the Italian peninsula and merged with the Latin and Estruscan people, planting the seeds for Rome.

In Greek legend, the Trojan War began when Paris, prince of Troy, stole away helen, wife of King Menelaus of Sparta. In Greek history, well, the Trojan war antedates written history, so the legend is our only guide. certainly there was a war; certainly Troy was destroyed. but for a woman? real life is rarely so romantic. The fact is almost certainly that Troy was positioned where its forces could restrict access for traders to the Black sea, and the Greeks wanted that access.

the awnser is Aeneas

I am unfamiliar with Diomedes "stealing" any of Priam's daughters, but it was not unusual for a conquering army to take slaves back to their home cities. Women and female children from the ruling family would have been very valuable.

He was impaled with a spear then a sword by Achilles, who proceded to drag him around on his chariot.

hector was actually only killed by Achilles' spear in the Iliad. Achilles would have actually had a much harder time in killing hector had pallas athene not come to Achilles' aid and returned his spear that he had just thrown at Hector, he did miss, Hector threw his spear and hit Achilles's shield but because it was made by Hephaustus, the god, it did not break through. Athene also brushed Hector's spear away from Achilles' on a previous encounter in the iliad. Athene saves Achilles from Hector and then Apollo saves hector.

Whilst it is true to say that overall Achilles' is the better warrior, he is not massively better than Hector. If you are to study the Iliad as i have done. you will learn from Achilles himself that, in events before the Iliad, Hector stood up to him alone and they fought a duel in which neither could kill the other. Again we learn from the Greeks when hector challenges them to a duel that they all fear him including Achilles. not one of the Greeks dares stand up to him until they are rebuked by menelaus and a greek elder.

but to really understand the greatest of hector we must see him outside of war, he is a reluctant soldier but defends Ilium because it is his duty, he is a loving father and caring father, he does not fight for his own glory or honour but for his men and those he loves. all other heroes in the iliad fight for themselves and their glory. they are often selfish and brutal. Achilles is the best example of this.

It is said that Paris of Troy "stole" Helen of Sparta. Paris fell in love with Helen and sneaked her on a Trojan ship. He also said that the goddess Aphrodite promised Helen to him. They wanted to bring Helen back to Greece.

Other reasons are that they wanted to sack Troy for its good location and for spoils of war, and to regain the pride of Menelaus, after Paris dishonored him by taking Helen even though he was a guest in the household.

I'm unsure of who Charitomene is as of now, but Andromache is wife of Hector and mother of Astynax.

In Greek Mythology the Trojan War was fought between the city of Troy and the Greeks. The war was said to be waged because Paris from Troy took Helene from her husband, the Prince of Sparta.

No one did. Aeneas was in Troy when the Greeks caputered it. He didn't need to be told, he saw it happen with his own eyes.

The Aegean sea is the sea that separates Greece from Troy.

Was it a real horse ? Not when made from wood.

Was a wooden horse really built and filled with soldiers ? Until recently the general opinion was a resounding yes. Now the answer would be yes, probably, but some archeologists are having doubts.

They used man-power; people would row the ships.

It was not made in the Iliad.

The wooden horse (now known as the Trojan horse) was made after the events of the Iliad, in order to fool the Trojans into letting Greek troops into their city, unbeknownst to the Trojans. These Greek soldiers would then open the gates to the city, letting in the awaiting Greek army.

Agamemnon.

if one's name is Cory then he is already gay.

EDIT:

It was strained the whole time.. Cory's and Troy's relationship finally breaks when Cory tries stepping over Troy and Cory grabbing a bat and trying to hit Troy then Troy kicks him out of the house.

I believe you are talking about Helen, the wife of Menelaus, who was taken to Troy by Paris, who was the son of King Prium and Queen Hecuba.

Troy is a movie (loosely) based in the Iliad. It of course is inaccurate to the story, but it is a wonderful movie.

Paris was killed during the Trojan war. Helen was won and taken back to Menelaus in Sparta.

It was discovered in 1850s
