Helen had been promised to Paris by the goddess Aphrodite, in gratitude for the judgment of Mount Ida. The latter had to choose between the respective promises of love of the most beautiful woman in the world, military power and royalty of the goddesses Aphrodite, Athena and Hera. It is finally the first option, that of Aphrodite, that Prince Paris chooses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While on his way to Sparta to negotiate the return of H\u00e9sione, captured at the end of the first Trojan war, P\u00e2ris meets H\u00e9l\u00e8ne, the wife of the king of Sparta. Fallen under the charm of the latter, the Trojan prince kidnapped her, seeing in her a blow of the destiny, an answer of the promise&nbsp; of Aphrodite. He provoked by the same occasion the anger of king Menelaus of Sparta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_1st_expedition_and_the_defeat_of_Mysia\"><\/span>The 1st expedition and the defeat of Mysia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furious and with the ambition to recover his wife, the king M\u00e9n\u00e9las convened, in the name of the oath of Tyndare, the majority of the Greek kings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is through an expedition in all Greece and assisted by Nestor that king Menelaus reminded the Greek kings of their promises of assistance in the event of war. With the troops and the fleet of all these kings, Menelaus decided to invade Troy 2 years after the kidnapping of Helen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The war took place in two stages. In a first expedition, the landing took place in Mysia, where began a merciless confrontation between the troops &nbsp;of the king of Mysia, T\u00e9l\u00e8phe, and those of M\u00e9n\u00e9las. The latter&#8217;s troops had to withdraw. This established a truce of 8 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The2nd_expedition_and_the_fury_of_Achilles\"><\/span>The<sup>2nd<\/sup> expedition and the fury of Achilles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second expedition is then prepared, but already, it must face several oppositions. The first one is the anger of the goddess Artemis which provoked the blocking of the fleet of Agamemnon at the doors of Aulis. It is the sacrifice of the latter&#8217;s daughter that finally calmed the goddess. It allowed the fleet to arrive at Troy, where the events will take place in 3 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_10_years_of_siege_of_Troy_by_the_Greeks\"><\/span>The 10 years of siege of Troy by the Greeks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the first confrontation, the Greek army lost one of its best warriors. She was then attacked by Cycnos in a second assault that was even bloodier than the first, especially since the man is virtually invincible. It is finally Achilles, son of king Peleus and Thetis, who will come to an end during a counter-attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This victory initiated the beginning of the negotiations between the Greeks and the Trojans for the return of the queen Helena. Faced with the fierce opposition of the Trojans, the Greeks employed the great means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the instigation of Achilles, a siege was set up and supplies were cut off in Troy. There followed an attack on the 11 cities of Anatolia dependent on Troy. This umpteenth confrontation allowed Achilles and Agamemnon to take Biseis and Chryseis captive respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_wrath_of_Achilles\"><\/span>The wrath of Achilles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humiliated by Agamemnon, Achilles withdrew in a black anger. After swearing not to return to battle, he asked Zeus to give the Trojans the advantage over the Greek troops. This promise consecrated a series of defeats of the Greeks who, not being able to any more, repeatedly requested the intervention of Achilles. This one refused to resume the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While he finally shows indulgence, allowing Patroclus to use his weapons to help the Greek troops, he will be disappointed again. Patroclus took the initiative to confront Paris&#8217; brother, Hector, thus breaking the promise made to Achilles and losing his life. For &nbsp;the death of Patroclus, Achilles confronted Hector, killed him and dragged his body through the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Trojan_horse_tactic\"><\/span>The Trojan horse tactic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is this war tactic that made the Trojan War famous. Indeed, the Greeks used as bait a horse forged from scratch in which were hidden soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Trojans had interpreted the presence of this horse as an offering from the goddess Athena, they opened a breach in the wall of Troy to let him in. The Greeks were then able to attack the city from the interior in the middle of the night in close combat. This ruse consecrated the victory of the Greeks over the Trojans and the end of the Trojan War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/en\/pink-sand-wild-creek-palm-grove-what-are-the-10-most-beautiful-beaches-in-crete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>DISCOVER HERE THE 6 MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES OF CRETE !<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hen we review the history of the Greece ancient history and its most outstanding moments, the Trojan War appears unquestionably as one of the most epic references.
