4.1 A story told: The Trojan war

The Trojan War was the greatest conflict in the Greek mythology, a war that was to influences people in literature and arts for centuries. The war was fought between the Greeks and Trojans with their allies, upon a Phrygian city of Troy, on Asia Minor. The war lasted for ten years and it has been traditionally dated from 1194 to 1184 BC.

My experiences are nothing compared to what Trojans and Greeks encountered in the war. They faced life and death. Their plan is likely to be compared to a chess board. One wrong move, and they will suffer many lives. Not only to the Greeks but also to the Trojans. The strategy they use was good. But, in the first place, the Greeks had a bigger chance of winning over the Trojans. The Gods were with them. We know that Gods have great power over those Greeks and Trojans because they have such themes that they follow.

I could feel the tension between the Greeks and Trojans. We know that the war waged when Paris took Helen from her husband, Menelaus, king of Sparta. Who wouldn't be mad if someone would take away your   wife from you? Not only the Greeks and Trojans were having a war, but even the Gods. But to think about it, the Gods made the story more exciting. They gave the twist in the story.
