 TROJAN WAR

 InGreek mythology, the Trojan War was

waged against the city of Troy by
the Achaeans (Greeks) after Paris of Troy
took Helen from her husband Menelaus,
king of Sparta.
 Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and the
brother of Helen's husband Menelaus, led
an expedition of Achaean troops to Troy
and besieged the city for ten years because
of Paris' insult.
 The walls must have been unusually strong
in order to withstand a ten-year siege. This
is reference a lot of times in the ‘Iliad’
 After a fruitless 10-year siege, the Achaeans used
their craftiness to devise a plan, which was a travesty to
battle strategies. They constructed a huge
wooden horse famously known as the Trojan horse and
hid a select force of men inside including Odysseus.
 The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans
pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That
night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened
the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had
sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered
and destroyed the city of Troy, ending the war.
