Trojan Horse





When the Greeks had lain siege to Troy for ten years, without results, they pretended to retreat. They left behind a huge wooden horse, in which a number of Greek heroes, among whom Odysseus, had hidden themselves. The spy Sinon convinced the Trojans, despite the warnings of Laocoon, to move the horse inside the city as a war trophy. In the following night, the Greeks left the wooden horse and attacked the unsuspecting and celebrating Trojans, and finally conquered Troy.

I know several things on the Trojan War.





If you need an important event on the Trojan War, I suggest you read a book on the Trojan War, and after you read it you can explain what you read in great detail to your teacher.
Reply:They say that's where the expression "Beware Greeks bearing gifts" came from because the Trojan Horse..
Reply:The death of Patrockles. At this point in the book, Achilles has been "sitting out" the war for some time because of Agamemnon's insult to him. (Agamemnon took away a prize, the female prisoner Briseis, from Achilles). Because their greatest warrior was no longer fighting, and because Zeus was now favoring the Trojans (Zeus had agreed to make Achilles look good by having him able to save the Greeks at the last minute), the Greeks had been pushed back to the edge of the sea, behind the barricades they had set up to protect their ships. Patrokles, Achilles' "companion" (the exact relationship is not stated but it may well have been a homosexual one), begs Achilles to allow him, Patcokles, to wear Achilles' armor and fight the Trojans. Achilles agrees, but warns Patrokles to fight only enough to stop the Trojan advance.


While Achilles remains in his tent, Patrokles leads the Myrmodons, the soldiers of Achilles, into battle. The Trojans and Greeks both believe Achilles has returned to battle, and the Trojans begin falling back. Caught up in the fight, Patrokles disobeys Achilles and continues to advance, the Greeks following.


Hector, the greatest of the Trojan heroes, advances to fight who he believes is Achilles before the Trojans are routed. There is a man to man duel, and Hector kills Patrockles. There is then a great battle as the Trojans try to haul away the body of Patrokles, while the Greeks fight equally hard to prevent the body's theft.


The Trojans are able to strip the armor off of the body, but the Greeks recover the body itself. Hector will claim the armor as booty, and wear it later on, a mistake that will cost him his life. Meantime the Greeks take the body of Patrokles back to Achilles, who begins to wail in anger and grief.


The death of Patrokles will seal the fate of Hector, and indirectly Troy. Achilles has his mother obtain a new set of armor from the god Hephestus, as well as a great shield. Intent on revenge, Achilles rejoins the war. So fearsome is he that the Trojans are pushed back into Troy itself. Hector, decieved by the goddess Athena, remains outside the walls of Troy too long. Realizing too late he is alone, Hector attempts to get back into Troy. But Achilles stays between Hector and the gates of Troy, and the two run around the walls 7 times before Hector decides to stop and fight.





The rest of the story is straightforward. Achilles kills Hector, hauls away his body, and abuses it. He refuses even a great ransom for it, preferring to let it sit and rot. But the gods preserve the body, and eventually Priam, king of Troy, sneaks into the very tent of Achilles and begs for the body of his son back. Finally relenting, Achilles returns the body, ensures that Priam gets safely out of the Greek camp, and agrees to a truce so that both sides can hold funeral games. The Iliad ends with a detailed description of those games, the contests, the winners, and their prizes.





It's not in the Iliad, but in another year Achilles will die when hit by an arrow shot by Paris, brother of Hector and the man who stole Helen of Troy in the first place. Not long after, Odysseus would come up with the idea of the Trojan Horse, and Troy would fall, burned, its people massacred or enslaved.
