The gods and goddesses were having a banquet they left her out. She was ready to start trouble and she succeeded. While an important wedding was going on she thrown an golden apple marked for the fairest.  All of the goddesses wanted it, but in the end the choice was narrowed down to three: Aphrodite, Hera, and Pallas Athena. They asked Zeus to judge between them, but he refused to judge them and sent them to Mount Ida to see prince Paris.]]> 2017-09-27 19:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/191850553 amayascott https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192294203 When the goddesses appeared to Paris he was amazed. Instead of picking the goddesses who got the apple by her beauty, he wanted bribes that were made to him by the goddesses. Hera offered him to be lord of Europe and Asia; Athena that he would lead Troy victory against Greece and lay it in ruins. Aphrodite, the fairest woman on earth would be his to keep Paris picked Aphrodite this is how the Trojan war started.]]> 2017-09-28 23:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192294203 amayascott https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192614451 Aphrodite had to pay her bribe to give Paris the most beautiful women in the world. Helen, daughter of Zeus and Leda. The goddess led Paris to sparta where Helen and her husband Menelaus, trusting of his guest left Paris at his house to go to crete Paris then kidnapped Helen. This caused the king to call forth all of Greece for help.]]> 2017-09-29 20:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192614451 amayascott https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192620874 The argument was about the daughter of Apollo's priest, whom the Greeks stole and gave to Agamemnon. Her name Chryseis. Her farther begged him to let her go but he refused. Her father prayed to Apollo and Apollo heard. Apollo then shot fiery arrows on the Greek army that plagued them and caused them to get sick and die. Achilles held a meeting about how they needed to appease Apollo so they could continue to fight Troy. The prophet Calchas said that Chryseis would need to be returned. Agamemnon sent to of his men to take Achillies prize away from him, Briseis. Achilles swore that Agamemnon would pay for this. That night, Achilles mother visted him and she was angry as him. Shec told him to stop fighting for the Greeks. Then she went to heaven to vist Zeus and asked Zeus to give success to the Trojans]]> 2017-09-29 21:37:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192620874 amayascott https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192623829 After Apollo had deserted the Greek army great battle followed. In this battle the armies suddenly stopped fighting and drew back to their sides. In between them was Paris and Menelaus almost won and would have led Greece to victory if Aphrodite had gone to look for Paris and failed, Agamemnon spoke to both armies and said that Menelaus had won and they gave Helen back. This was okay with both armies but Hera said otherwise. She wanted Troy ruined and until then the war couldn"t end.  She told Athena to persuade Pandarus, a Trojan, to shoot at Menelaus. He slightly wounded him, but at this act of treachery the Greeks turned on the Trojan ]]> 2017-09-29 22:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192623829 amayascott https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192626295 Since the Greeks didn't have there hero Achilles , The Greeks were not a match for the Trojans. Hector was going back into battle and with good hopes. Zeus remembered he made a promise to Achilles mother and ordered all the immortal to stay in Olympus. Zeus himself went down to help Trojans. Hector led the Trojans so well that they drew the Greeks almost back to their ships.  This was a big victory in Troy That night.]]> 2017-09-29 22:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192626295 amayascott https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192626815 Hera was one of the goddesses that disapproved of Zeus helping Trojans. She devised a plan that would give the upper hand back to Greece. She made herself look so beautiful that he would not resist her. When Zeus held her she would make him fall asleep and he would forget all bout the Trojans. With Hector gone, the Greeks were able to drive the Trojans far back from the ships and Troy might have been sacked if Zeus had not awakened.  Zeus was about to lay hands on her but she said it was all Poseidon. Zeus then took Poseidon out of the battle. Then the Greeks were losing again.]]> 2017-09-29 23:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192626815 amayascott https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192628233 When the Trojans were about to defeat the Greeks, Achilles best friend Patroclus could not stay away from the battle. He decied to take Achilles spot in the battle because Achilles was caught up in his anger. He put on Achilles armor to make them think it was Achilles. Patroclus didnt think they were going to go so hard that it wasnt that hard being Achilles. Hector was coming for "Achilles" and he thought it was him so he killed him. ]]> 2017-09-29 23:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192628233 amayascott https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192628766 The death of Patroclus devastated Achilles and Achilles swore to avenge his friend by killing Hector. Achilles killed Hector but what he did after made the gods very angry. He dragged Hectors body everywhere and Achilles did not want him to have a proper burial.]]> 2017-09-29 23:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192628766 amayascott https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192629859 Achilles knew after Hector dies he would die too, for his mother was told when he was young. So after Achilles died the Greeks didn't have any word from their prophet to what the gods would tell them to do. Though the prophet did that one knew what to do next and that was the prophet and that was the prophet on the Trojan side Helenus. The Greeks captured Helenus he told them the only way Troy could be defeated was to fight the Trojans with bow and arrow of Hercules. This belonged to the man they had left in Lemnos, Philoctetes. They left him there because he had a wound from a serpent that would not heal and they needed to get to Troy. They stole the weapons from him but they couldnt just leave him there so they persuaded him to come with them. When Philoctetes came back he was healed and one of the first people he wounded with his arrow was paris. Though this wasnt the reason troy fell.]]> 2017-09-30 00:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192629859 amayascott https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192631059 The Greeks must find a secret way of entering the city, or accept defeat. The result of this new determination and new vision was the stratagem of the wooden horse. Odysseus had a skillful worker in wood make a huge wooden horse which was hollow and so big that it could hold a number of men. The plan was to leave a single Greek behind in the deserted camp, primed with a tale calculated to make the Trojans draw the horse into the city without investigating it. When the night was the darkest, the Greeks inside would come out and open the city gates. A night came when the plan was carried out. The the last day of Troy dawned. ]]> 2017-09-30 00:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192631059 amayascott https://padlet.com/amayascott/mfddfgxbhfwz/wish/192631992 The Greeks had given up they sailed for Greece; they accepted defeat. Then the greek that had been left behind discovered himself to him his name was Sinon.
