Individual:
TROJAN WAR -- When Paris, the Prince of Troy, with the help of
Aphrodite, stole Helen, the wife of King Menelaus of Sparta, a
bitter, ten-year (10) year war between Greece and Troy began in
Asia Minor (Turkey). The conflict involved many of the great
Greek heroes, including Achilles, who had been dipped in the
Styx River as a child, so that his whole body, except for his
heel, was invulnerable. The Greeks were led by Agamemon,
brother of Menelaus and King of Argos. The Trojan leader was
Hector. The gods were also involved -- some of them backed
Greece, others the Trojans. The entire story, ending in victory
for the Greeks, was told by their poet Homer (c. 850--800 BC) in
his epic, the ILIAD.
