Abstract

[Myriads of tales have been told of the events during the Trojan War, and the lives of many valiant warriors from both sides were lost. Paris and Menelaus duelled about Helen, and Aphrodite saved Paris just when Menelaus was about to kill him. Achilles, the greatest of the Greek warriors, slaughtered Cygnus, Troilus and many others. Odysseus and Diomedes killed thirteen Thracians, allies of the Trojans, and stole the horses of king Resus during a night raid. Ajax Telamonius fought valiantly to no avail. But the worst was that Achilles’s abstention gave the Trojans great victories against the Greeks, breaking their defense lines and setting their ships on fire (Figure 4.1).]
