==The two gods, Zeus and Poseidon tried to force the sea-goddess Thetis to marry them. The Titan Prometheus warned them, that any son of Thetis would become greater than the father, and that Zeus might lose his power over the gods. That changed the gods mind and Zeus said Thetis will marry a mortal instead. Zeus chose Peleus as the most worthy mortal. At the wedding Eris, the goddess of discord, was angry and threw a golden apple and said it was for the fairest. Then Hera, Aphrodite, Athena, and Aphrodite claimed to be the fairest. They asked Zeus to be there judge but he chose Paris, a Trojan prince, to be the judge. If he chose Athena she would make him a hero. Hera offered him to be king of the greatest kingdom in the world. Aphrodite offered him to be married to the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Sparta. He chose Aphrodite. He made the wrong choice and Athena and Aphrodite cursed the city of Troy. After Peleus and Thetis married they had a child they named, Achilles. It was predicted that he would die in old age in a simple life or die young in battle and that his story will be told for forever. Thetis dipped Achilles in the River Styx, a river in the underwold, so he could be indestructible. She didn’t dip his heel though, so he was indestructible except for his heel. == ==During the first 9 years of the Trojan war, Greece found out Troy was being helped from cities close by so they destroyed those cities. During battle, Achilles was shot in the heel by Paris and died. Odysseus made a clever plan to make a giant wooden horse as a “gift” to Troy. The Trojans celebrated what they thought was there victory. The soldiers hid in the horse. Then at night while everyone was asleep they attacked and burned the city. The remaining woman from Troy were separated among Greek men. Then Greece returned for home. But Odyseuss and his men were about to face a long hard journey back. == ==__[]__ == ==__[]__ == ==__[]__ ==
