The Trojan War: The Bronze Era Of Ancient Greece
The Trojan War
The trojan war was a war fought between the greeks and the trojans in the bronze era of ancient greece. The war was famously documented by a man named Homer in a book called Iliad. The war was fought in a city called troy. The Trojan War started as a way for zeus to reduce the increasing population of humanity and, more practically, as an expedition to reclaim Helen. Helen was abducted by the Trojan prince Paris (also known as Alexandros) and taken as his prize. Menelaos and the Greeks wanted her back and to avenge Trojan impudence. The war involved several more exciting episodes including Achilles’ fight with and killing of the Ethiopian King came to the aid of the Trojans. Achilles was even said to have fallen in love
with a beautiful Amazon just at the moment he killed her with his spear. Achilles himself met his destiny and was killed by an arrow to his only weak spot, his ankle-hence an achilles tendon, shot by Paris and guided by Apollo.. Slaughtering a herd of sheep he thought were Greeks, he fell on his sword in a messy and pointless suicide. Philoctetes got revenge for his father, Achilles, by fatally shooting Paris with the legendary bow of Hercules. Finally, Odysseus even managed to get into the city in disguise and steal the sacred Palladion statue of Athena. The war lasted 10 years and it ended with the trojans being invaded by the greeks. The greeks got into the trojan territory by hiding in a giant wooden horse and attacking once in the walls of Troy. then the greeks won.
