Reason for the War: The Trojan War was caused by Paris, son of the Trojan king, and Helen, wife of the Greek king Menelaus, when they went off together to Troy. To get her back, Menelaus, sought help from his brother Agamemnon, who assembled a Greek army to defeat Troy.
Major Parties Involved: The two main parties in the Trojan War between the early Greeks and the defenders of the city of Troy in Anatolia.
The Trojan Horse Explained: The Trojan Horse was a huge hollow wooden horse constructed by the Greeks to gain entrance into Troy during the Trojan War. The horse was built by. Epeius, a master carpenter and pugilist. The Greeks, pretending to desert the war, sailed to the nearby island of Tenedos, leaving behind Sinon, who persuaded the Trojans that the horse was an offering to Athena that would make Troy impregnable. Despite warnings from Laocoon and Cassandra, the horse was taken inside the city gates. That night Greek warriors emerged from it and opened the gates to let it in the returned Greek army.
Outcome of the War: The Greeks won the Trojan War mainly due to the strategy of the Trojan Horse. The Greeks sacked Troy after they let the Trojan horse in.
Great Heroes of the War: Achilles was the greatest Greek warrior of the Trojan War. Others included Odysseus, diomedes, Ajax, Greater, etc.
