The Trojan war

"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others."

Pericles

the trojan war

The Trojan War was a legendary conflict between the early Greeks and the people of Troy in what is now Turkey. It was said to have taken place more than 3,000 years ago.

The legends about the war suggest a cause other than trade disputes. According to Homer’s Iliad, the war was fought during the rule of the wealthy and powerful King Priam of Troy. The conflict began when Priam’s son Paris fell in love with a woman named Helen.
