1. By: Lindsay Toub, Natasha Lear & Kyle Stanshine The Trojan War & The Fall of Troy

2. Aphrodite (Goddess of Love) 3 Goddesses Hera (Goddess of Marriage) Pallas Athena (Goddess of War)

3. The Dispute The 3 goddesses asked Zeus who was the most beautiful Zeus refused to answer and sent them to Paris The 3 Goddesses gave offers to Paris until he chose 1 goddess: Hera Promised to make him lord of Europe, and Asia Athena Promised he would lead the Trojans to victory and leave Greece in ruins Aphrodite Promised the fairest woman in all the world would be his Paris

4. The Decision Paris chose Aphrodite's offer, and he would receive the fairest woman in the world Helen, Zeus’s daughter However, Helen was already married to Menelaus, the king of Sparta and brother of Agamemnon Menelaus went to find Helen and called upon all of Greece to help him The Trojan War started and lasted for 10 years

5. Hera Athena Poseidon (God of Sea) Agamemnon Menelaus Paris Aphrodite Ares (God of War) Apollo Artemis Hector Zeus The Greeks versus The Trojans The war could of ended here, but Hera and Athena wanted to ruin Troy. Athena ordered a Trojan to shoot at Menelaus and the battle begins with everyone. Paris and Menelaus would fight it out alone for Helen.

6. The War Continues Agamemnon wanted to sail home Hera had her plans She would talk to Zeus in hopes that he couldn’t resist her Zeus fell for it, and the battle turned in favor of the Greeks Hector felt that he could not be killed, until he is found lying in the plains where Zeus finds him Hera is blamed At Hector’s funeral, it is described that the Illiad ends

7. The Fall of Troy With Hector dead, Achilles knew he would die soon because his mother had predicted it His last battle was against the King of Ethiopia, and when he is killed his body is carried out by Ajax Ajax wanted to kill Agamemnon and Menelaus for turning the vote against him The 3 men as well as Odysseus fought over Achilles body parts Greece started to feel depressed by all the deaths that were occurring Troy couldn’t fall until they were fought against with bow and arrow of Hercules

8. Taking the bow and arrows Hercules died by Prince Philocetes Odysseus, other Neoptolemus aka Pyrrhus (the young of Achilles) took the bow/arrows Paris was wounded by it and wanted to go to Oenone, a nymph who was with him before he met the three goddess She knew a drug that could help him He always forgot about her and therefore she didn’t help him He died and she later killed herself

9. False security ***Although Troy had lost Paris it was okay because as long as they had Palladium, Troy couldn’t be taken 10 years past and troy was as strong as ever. The Greeks came up with the plan to make a wooden horse… the others stayed people of Greeks near the island so they could sail home The Trojans had false security when they heard only silence and all but one of the Greek ships were gone.

10. Greece wins Priest Laocoon feared the horse because it had come from Greece The Greeks hoped the Trojans would try to destroy it causing Athena’s anger upon them They brought it to the temple of Athena and in the middle of the night everyone returned to their houses Aphrodite was the only god who helped a Trojan. She helped Helen and gave her to Menelaus, they sailed to Greece Troy was gone, Greece ships awaited.
