Maybe we can condense that a
little more??
Trojan Wars
Apple of discord
Trojan war began because
Eris, the Goddess of discord,
was not invited to the wedding
of Peleus and Thetis, a Sea
Goddess, so Eris brought a
Golden Apple which she
claimed belonged to
whomever was the fairest.
Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite
argued over who would receive
it, and Paris, prince of Troy,
was to choose. Hera promised
power, Athena promised
wealth, and Aphrodite
promised the most beautiful
woman in the world. This
woman was Helen, wife of
Menelaus of Sparta. Paris took
Helen back to Troy.
The apple of discord
Trojan war began because
Eris, the Goddess of discord
brought a Golden Apple
belonging to the fairest
woman: between Hera,
Athena, and Aprhodite.
Paris, Prince of Troy was the
judge. Hera promised power,
Athena promised wealth,
and Aphrodite promised the
most beautiful woman in the
world: Helen, wife of
Menelaus of Sparta. Paris
took Helen back to Troy.
Better! Notes should get to the
point of what you are trying to
understand and remember.
Greek Armament
Menelaus was angry that
Helen was taken and
called upon her old
suitors who had sworn to
always defend her honor.
Many did not wish to go
to war, but supported in
providing ships. A seer
prophesied the only way
Sparta could win was if
they had Achilles fighting
on their side.
How can we get to the point?
Greek Armament
