"The Greeks are camped on the edge of the beach, a gang of men divided among themselves, with no secure leadership, the atmosphere angry and uncertain, no constancy in their arguments or their dealings with each other, no faith in their purpose, no substance in their loyalties and no women with any significance beyond their sex. They are living in rough sheds built against their ships. The rigging has rotted. They are surrounded by loot but sleep on the skins of wild animals.... The Greeks confront the realities of life and death with unadorned directness. No family, no safety, no home, no sense that virtue is rewarded or frailty sheltered. No prospect of dignity in old age or security when weak. No meaning beyond the presence of force" (Nicholson 178). "Across the plain, Troy is different. Here are the people of a city, full of conviction, with well-ordered relations, allies who remain true to each other, a king to whom all give respect, brothers, sisters, wives, parents and children all living in a mutually dependent, interlocked system, with institutions that seem permanent" (179).

The Iliad recounts 51 days of a 10-year war. The war started because Paris, a Trojan, kidnapped Helen, Agamemnon's wife. Paris kidnapped Helen, because Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful mortal woman. Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful mortal woman in order to win the beauty contest between her, Hera, and Athena. The beauty contest occurred because Eris (Strife), who had not been invited, threw a golden apple into the wedding party of Thetis and Peleus (Achilles' parents). The apple was labeled "for the fairest," and Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera claimed it. Zeus had Hermes bring them to Paris to judge the contest. Each goddess offered a bribe (so it was not about beauty after all!). Aphrodite won.

Homer's The Iliad Home page Mr. Connors Mr. Sullivan Style Themes click on the pic Background for The Iliad's story line begins with the angry goddess Eris, (Discord) who was not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis (Achilles' parents); she planed revenge and threw a golden apple with the inscription "for the fairest" in the wedding feast. All the goddess present claimed it for themselves, but the choice came down to three: Aphrodite, Athena and Hera. They asked Zeus to make the final decision, but he wisely refused. Instead, Zeus sent them to Mount Ida, where the handsome youth Paris was tending his father's flocks. Priam had sent the prince away from Troy because of a prophecy that Paris would one day bring doom to the city. Each of the three goddesses offers Paris a bribe if he will name her the fairest: Hera promises to make him lord of Europe and Asia; Athena promises to make him a great military leader and let him rampage all over Greece; and Aphrodite promises that he will have for his wife the most beautiful woman in the world. From then on both Hera and At...

But the audience is expected to be familiar with the entire story of the Trojan War, including all the events that occurred before and after the war. These pre- and post-war events are referred to in the Iliad, but they are not explained, so here are a few of the most important stories.
