    Allies from their existence, Athens and Sparta had fought side by side for centuries. These two Greek city-states fought together in the Greco-Persian war, but when the Persians retreated, tension rose. Athens gained more power than they needed, plunging the two cities into nearly three decades of war. The outcome was devastating. Although Sparta won, they were extremely demoralized. Athens was bankrupt and exhausted, and neither city regained the military strength they once had. This infamous conflict came to be known as the Peloponnesian War.…

    Zeus is sure he's the perfect guy to solve the dispute, and sends Hermes to guide the ladies to Paris. Paris is actually the Prince of Troy, but his parents told their slaves to kill him after his mother dreamed he would cause the downfall of their city.

    Paris, the prince of a place called Troy, disrespected Zeus by taking Menelaus’ wife. Zeus was also the god of hospitality. TW p. 70 Zeus, also known as the storm god, was the highest divinity in Troy. TW p.52 The Greeks also got what they considered a bad omen from Zeus. A snake ate a bird on the alter from which they were sacrificing to the gods. They had to have a wizard break the curse. With those two things in mind, it must have been scary sailing from Troy. The Greeks decide to boost the crew’s spirits with a couple of easy raids that had good results. One of the sacked cities was a place called Scythos. This attack served many purposes as it Achilles, a great man, was deeply humiliated there and sacking it would please the gods. TW p.44,53 Pre-battle speeches and oaths would have been given to boost the men’s spirits. The oaths simply stated to never desert or they would have to dress up as girls and start knitting. TW p.56 Greece’s idolatrous religion had deep, poisonous roots in their…

    The Peloponnesian Wars were a series of conflicts between Athens and Sparta. These wars also involved most of the Greek world, because both Athens and Sparta had leagues, or alliances, which brought their allies into the wars as well. The Athenian Thucydides is the primary source of the wars, as he fought on the side of Athens. Thucydides was ostracized after the Spartans decisive victory at the Battle of Amphipolis in 422 BC, where Thucydides was one of the Athenian commanders. Thucydides wrote a book called The History of the Peloponnesian War. From 431 to 404 BC the conflict escalated into what is known as the "Great War." To the Greeks, the "Great War" was a world war, not only involving much of the Greek world, but also the Macedonians, Persians, and Sicilians.…

    With a magical girdle, many idolized her, and desired her, for her looks, and intellectualness. However, at the central of her dawning beauty laid a rivalry between two other women, Hera and Athena, for the so-called “battle” of who was the most beautiful woman in the whole world.

However, Helen was already married, and not looking for another, or an additional man into her life.

He was not asked, however, to gaze at the radiant divinities and choose which of them seemed to him the fairest, but only to consider the bribes each offered and choose which seemed to him best worth taking. Nevertheless, the choice was not easy. What men care for most was set before him. Hera promised to make him Lord of Europe and Asia; Athena, that he would lead the Trojans to victory against the Greeks and lay Greece in ruins; Aphrodite, that the fairest woman in all the world be his. Paris, a weakling and something of a coward, too, as later events showed, chose the last. He gave Aphrodite the golden apple. That was the Judgment of Paris, famed everywhere as the real reason why the Trojan War was fought…
