After the War
• The Greeks fought against Troy
• Why??
• Paris took Helen from King
Menelaus of Sparta
• Result??
• King Menelaus ordered Troy to be
invaded
Eris, an evil goddess,
marked an apple “For the
Fairest”
• Athena, Hera, and
Aphrodite fought over
who would get it.
• They were unable to
decide so they went
to Paris to seek
advice.
• He decided Aphrodite
under one condition…
• … she must get Helen
of Troy to fall in love
with him.
• Paris was given
Helen.
• King Menelaus
(Spartan King) was
angered, he led the
Greeks to lay siege*
on Troy.
• Menelaus and the Greeks
fought with the people of Troy
for 9 years, not establishing a
clear winner!
• Olympus and the Gods got
involved with the war.
• Without Achilles the Greeks
were inferior.
• Zeus, wanted the Trojans to
win, sent a lying dream to
Achilles, and Achilles stayed
home.
•
Hera wanted to circumvent Achilles.
•
Hercules gave Philoctetes the bow and
arrows, he sets off for Troy, where he
kills Paris.
•
Menelaus and Paris fought!
•
Whoever won would win the war for
their side.
•
Menelaus was declared the winner,
however until Athena made someone
attack, starting the battle between both
sides yet once again.
The Greeks suppoesdly retreated, but
were hiding in a giant wooden horse
that the Trojans brought into the city.
•
•
The Greeks massacre Troy and kill all
men and enslave infants and
women……
•
Paris kills Achilles with Apollos help.
•
The Greeks capture Helenus, who tells
them that Troy can only be defeated
by the bow and arrows of Hercules.
This is the horse that
was brought into Troy,
inevitably ending the
war.
Homer wrote the Iliad,
which is where the story
of “The Trojan War” are
recorded.
People have questioned
if Homer was real, and
if so if he made up
everything about The
Trojan War.
