Archaeology and the Trojan War “… he [Heinrich Schliemann] found layers of ruins … and two bore unmistakable signs of violent destruction. One of these layers, the seventh according to more recent excavators, was no doubt the city of Priam and Hector. The historicity of the Homeric tale had been demonstrated archaeologically.” - M.I. Finley, the World of Odysseus Introduction The Trojan War and its characters are detailed in the writings of Homer, Vergil, Dante and many others. It is a fantastical
In the book The Trojan War, by Bernard Evslin, Ulysses and Agamemnon both contribute to the Greek’s victory. Many considered Ulysses to be the real brains behind the Greek forces. Although Agamemnon was the leader of the Greeks, many would say he was not a good one. Even though Agamemnon did some good deeds during the war, many of his actions caused problems, and Ulysses often had to come to his rescue. With Ulysses on the Greeks side they had amazing intelligence and bravery. Many great things happened

The Trojan War, fought between the Greeks and Trojans, did have an eventual winner, but this winner would not have claimed victory without the significant “Trojan Horse”. As Lin Donn states about the war, “The Greek Warriors had been trying to breech the walls around Troy for ten years, and they couldn’t have done it without the ‘Trojan Horse’” (Donn).

Although Helen was a major contributing factor of the commencement of the Trojan war, I do not believe she was the lone cause of it. It was the judgement of a beauty contest between three goddesses Athena, Hera and Aphrodite, which had triggered a series of events, that eventually lead to the Trojan war. During this beauty contest, Paris of Troy was to judge the physical appearance of the three greek goddesses. In return of being the favoured beauty, each goddess promised Paris something he desired

the tendon in their foot. He is well known in the Iliad as the main force for the Achaeans in the Trojan War, dubbed the “swiftest warrior,” “Achilles dear to Zeus”, and “brilliant runner.” However many do not know the story of Achilles when he walks away from the Achaean campaign over a scuffle of war prizes. His action cripples the Achaean army, costing the lives of many. The story of the Trojan War is one where Achilles ultimately leads the Achaeans to Troy and kills Hector outside Priam’s walls
The Trojan War Timeline 1. The Golden Apple Eris, the evil goddess of Discord, was angered because she wasn’t invited to the wedding of king Peleus and Thetis, the sea nymph. She responded to this by throwing a golden apple with "For the Fairest" written on it. Though all the goddesses wanted it, Hera, Athena and Aphrodite wanted it the most. When they asked Zeus to decide he said he didn’t want anything to do with this, instead he told them to go to Mount Ida, close to Troy, and find prince Paris
The Trojan War was a very long and brutal war which was essentially caused when Paris of Troy took Helen of Sparta from her husband Menelaus; this enraged the king to the point of sending troops to retrieve her.

Their interference with the mortals in books 1,9,16, and 22 show that the
The Greeks and Trojans: Their Emotional Downfalls The story of the Iliad portrays a vial battle between the Greeks and Trojans that has been ongoing for over 9 years. The Greeks ultimately triumph in the war, but not without bloody conflict with the Trojans.

Unfortunately, their emotions overpower them and hinder their beneficial traits. The emotional
Achilles was the greatest Greek hero during the Trojan War. He portrays the nature of myth theory from the fact that he was close to gods and that his body was invulnerable to injuries except his heels. His character also explains the social charter theory in the ancient times.
