//The Trojan War//
 * By: Milica Urosevic, Olivia Rea**
 * The Trojan War began when the three goddesses Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite started fighting when the goddess Eris gave them a golden apple. To make this a fair choice, Zeus sent the goddesses to Paris who chose that Aphrodite deserved the apple. Later, Aphrodite made Helen, the most beautiful of all women fall in love with Paris and he took her to Troy. Then, Agamemnon, the husband of Helen heard about this and led his troops to Troy to fight. Finally, after the death of many people, the city fell to the trick of the Trojan Horse and Agamemnon`s troops destroyed the city even more. When the war ended, some of the troops went back home. **

The Trojan War lasted ten years. Troy was attacked by the Greeks after Menelaus learned his wife Helen was taken by Paris, a Prince of Troy. Menelaus was able to get Agamemnon to lead the Greek ships to look for Troy. In the beginning, they could not find Troy and went back to Greece after fighting the Teuthranians and injuring their king, Telephus. After Achilles healed Telephus, he told the Greeks how to find Troy. The Greeks found Troy and fought for nine years. The Greeks killed Hector and Paris killed Achilles. The Greeks could not get past the walls of Troy, so Odysseus with other Greek soldiers hid in a big wooden horse. When the Trojans went to sleep, the Greeks came out of the horse and killed them. Finally, after the death of many people, the city fell to the trick of the Trojan Horse and Agamemnon`s troops destroyed the city even more. When the war ended, some of the troops went back home
