The war between the Greeks and the Trojans originated with a beautiful woman, Helen. Helen was the wife of King Teramon of Sparta and the most beautiful woman in Greek mythology. Her beauty attracted the pursuit of many people, among them was Paris, the prince of Troy. Paris was the son of Priam, the king of Troy, and a handsome teenager. He once chose Aphrodite, the goddess of love, in a contest to judge the beauty of the three goddesses of mythology, and received her reward for the love of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world.
In order to fulfill this wish, Paris risked his life and infiltrated Sparta to meet Helen. Impressed by Paris's demeanor and commitment, Helen decided to elope with him and return to Troy together. In this way, Helen betrayed her husband and her country, triggering the wrath and hatred of the Greeks. Teramon turned to his brother Agamemnon, the overlord of Greece, for help to lead the Greek city-states in a crusade against Troy and recapture Helen. Agamemnon granted his request and gathered the most powerful heroes of Greece, such as Achilles, Odysseus, Ajax, etc., to form a large fleet and march towards Troy. This is the cause of the war between the Greeks and the Trojans.
The war between the Greeks and the Trojans lasted for ten years. During this decade, the two sides engaged in numerous fierce battles, sometimes on the plains outside the city of Troy, sometimes under the walls of Troy, sometimes on the banks of the Troy River, and sometimes on nearby islands. In the war, both sides showed bravery and wisdom, and both paid a heavy price. Here are some of the important events in the war:
The Greeks first set up camp outside the city of Troy and laid siege to the city of Troy. The Trojans relied on strong walls and put up stubborn resistance. The Greeks tried to breach the walls with ladders, rams, and other equipment, but were repelled by the Trojans with stones, arrows, oil, and other items. The Trojans would also take the opportunity to go out of the city to fight back, engaging in fierce battles with the Greeks. The princes and heroes of both sides showed their skills on the battlefield and fought each other.
The most powerful hero of the Greeks was Achilles, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, who possessed an invincible body, and only his heels were his weakness. His ** is a divine weapon crafted by the divine craftsman Hephaestus, and his chariot is drawn by an immortal horse. He was invincible on the battlefield and unbeatable. The most powerful hero of the Trojans was Hector, the eldest son of the Trojan king and the commander-in-chief of the Trojan army. He was a brave and benevolent warrior who was loved and revered by the Trojans. His ** was given by his father, and his chariot was driven by his younger brother Devnos. He defended his country and family on the battlefield and was not afraid of any enemy.
Achilles and Hector were the two main antagonists in the war, and they had faced each other many times, but they had not been able to distinguish between winners and losers. Until one day, Hector killed Achilles' best friend, Patroclus, and Achilles was grief-stricken and vowed to avenge him. He returned to the battlefield and engaged Hector in a life-and-death battle. After a fierce battle, Achilles finally stabbed Hector in the throat and killed him. He also tied Hector's feet with ropes, dragged his corpse, and ran nine laps around the city of Troy, dishonoring his dignity. The Trojans mourned this, and the Trojan king Priam himself went to the Greek camp and asked Achilles to return his son's body for burial. Moved by his grief, Achilles agreed to his request and made a twelve-day truce with the Trojans for a funeral.
Although Achilles killed Hector, he himself did not live long. During a battle, he was shot in the heel by the Trojan prince Paris, who died because it was his only weakness. The Greeks gave him a grand funeral, placing his ashes in a gold urn and buried on a hill outside the city of Troy.
The war between the Greeks and the Trojans ended with the victory of the Greeks. The Greeks used an ingenious strategy to successfully capture the city of Troy. This ploy is the Trojan Horse. Here's how it worked:
After the death of Achilles, the Greeks were never able to break through the city of Troy. They were frustrated and tired and wanted to end the long war. So, following Odysseus' advice, they built a huge wooden horse, filled it with selected soldiers, and then placed it outside the city of Troy as a sacrifice to indicate that they had given up the war and were ready to return home. They also left a man named Sinon as a decoy to lie to the Trojans, saying that the Trojan Horse was to thank Athena for her blessing, and that if the Trojans brought the Trojan into the city, they could get Athena's protection, and if they destroyed the Trojan Horse, they would incur Athena's wrath. The rest of the Greeks' troops, all quietly retreated to a nearby island, waiting for an opportunity.
The Trojans were glad to see the Greeks leave, thinking that they had really given up the war. They rushed out of the city gates, shouted for joy, and robbed the Greeks of their possessions. They saw the Trojan and were curious and puzzled by it. They heard Sinnon's words, some believed it, some didn't. They argued for a long time, and finally decided to bring the Trojan into the city as a trophy. Using ropes and rollers, they dragged the wooden horse into the city walls. They also opened the gates of the city to allow the Trojan horses to pass through. Unbeknownst to them, they have planted the seeds of their own demise.
As soon as the Trojans brought the Trojan into the city, they began to celebrate their victory. They held a grand feast, drank and sang, and had great joy. They were completely unvigilant and did not notice the soldiers in the Trojan. When night fell and the Trojans fell asleep, the soldiers of the Trojan Horse quietly opened the mouth of the Trojan Horse and crawled out. They quietly killed the guards, opened the gates of the city and let in the Greek troops hidden on the island. The Greeks poured into the city of Troy and began a frenzy of ** and plundering. The Trojans were awakened and fought hard, but it was too late. Their cities were engulfed in flames, their kings were killed, their wives and children were taken captive, and their civilization was destroyed. Helen was also recaptured by the Greeks and re-became the wife of Teramon. In this way, the war between the Greeks and the Trojans ended with the fall of Troy.
The war between the Greeks and the Trojans was an epic war and a tragic one. It shows the courage and wisdom of human beings, but also the greed and cruelty of human beings. It has left behind many immortal legends and stories.
It is an important chapter in the history of mankind. There are many things to learn from this, and there are many things to learn from it. We should cherish peace, oppose war, respect life, and pursue truth, so that we can avoid repeating the mistakes of the Greeks and Trojans and create a better world.
