  2. Trojan War Notes • The most common explanation for the Trojan War is the story of The Golden Apple. • Do you remember the goddesses involved? The judge of their beauty contest? And what each goddess promised him? • Who did Paris pick?

  3. Characters of the Trojan War: The Trojans Hector • Hector, oldest child of Priam and Hecuba, presumed heir to the throne of Troy, was the greatest Trojan hero of the Trojan War, the main defender of Troy, and a favorite of Apollo. • With Apollo's help Hector killed Patroclus, the best friend of Achilles, the greatest of the Greeks, but staying on the sidelines due to a conflict with Agamemnon. When Hector killed his friend, Achilles became enraged and so agreed to join the other Greeks in fighting against the Trojans. Achilles avenged the death of his friend by killing Hector, after which, to disgrace the Trojan prince and to let off some of his steaming madness, he dragged Hector's corpse around the grave of Patroclus three times. Priam had to go to Achilles to beg for the body of Hector so he could give him a proper burial. Despite the abuse to his corpse, the gods had kept Hector intact.

  4. Characters of the Trojan War: The Trojans • Priam Priam was the last king of Troy, son of Laomedon and Strymo. King Priam was killed at the end of the Trojan War. His wife was Hecuba. Paris, Troilus, and Hector were three of Priam and Hecuba's many sons. • Paris Paris was the son of King Priam of Troy and Queen Hecuba. Paris abducted Helen (Wife of Menelaus) and took her to Troy, thereby starting the Trojan War.

  5. Characters of the Trojan War: The Greeks • Agamemnon • Agamemnon was the leader of the Greek forces in the Trojan War. He was the brother-in-law of Helen of Troy. Agamemnon was married to Clytemnestra, the sister of Menelaus' wife, Helen of Troy. • Menelaus • Menelaus was the king of Sparta and brother of Agamemnon. When Menelaus married Helen, a promise was extracted from all the rejected suitor-princes that they would come to the aid of Menelaus should anyone try to abduct her. Paris, a prince of Troy was a guest in the palace of Menelaus when he decided to steal Helen. The Trojan War was fought to bring Helen back from Troy to Menelaus.

  6. Characters of the Trojan War: The Greeks • Achilles • Achilles is part of the Achaean (Greek) force in the Trojan War. • Agamemnon leads the Achaeans to Troy to win back Helen for his brother Menelaus. • Proud and autocratic, Agamemnon antagonizes Achilles, and so Achilles sits out the fighting.

  7. Characters of the Trojan War: The Greeks • PatroclusPatroclus was a dear friend of Achilles who put on the armor of Achilles and led Achilles' Myrmidons into battle, while Achilles was sulking on the sidelines. Patroclus was killed by Hector. • OdysseusOdysseus, a Greek hero, is the leading figure in the epic poem The Odyssey. Odysseus is the king of Ithaca, son of Laertes and Anticlea, husband of Penelope, and father of Telemachus. The Odyssey is the story of Odysseus' return home at the end of the Trojan War. Odysseus fought for ten years in the Trojan War before coming up with the idea of the wooden horse -- just one example of why "wily" or "crafty" is attached to his name.

  8. The Cause and the Ending • CAUSE: Wife of Menelaus. • Helen's beauty was so overwhelming that Theseus and Paris abducted her and the Trojan War was fought to bring her back home. • ENDING: Trojan Horse. • The Trojan Horse is a crafty contraption that allowed the Greeks to put an end to the 10-year-old Trojan War. The wily Greek hero Odysseus conceived the project and design for the Trojan Horse; The Greeks left a giant wooden object made to look like a horse at the Trojan city gates. Some of the Greeks pretended to sail away, but actually sailed just out of sight. The other Greeks stood waiting, inside the belly of the wooden beast.

  9. Themes in Troy (2004) • Write each of these themes down and keep track of them as we watch the scenes from Troy. These same themes will be important in The Odyssey! • Immortality: The Hero’s Legacy in his Name and Actions • Don’t Ever Tick off The Gods! • Odysseus’sRole in the Trojan War • Think: How is Achillesrepresented as the Epic Hero?
