The Trojan War's Affect on Ancient Greek Culture

Through common rituals, customs, daily activities, the culture of ancient Greece was influenced by the Trojan horse war.

"Women work at state-run factories and wear uniforms for the Royal troops soldiers" (Bella Vivante)

The story of the Trojan war also gave Greeks a sense of hope and strengthened their religious beliefs.

"They (Greeks) are also very promising, because the hero who acts arrogantly beyond himself is punished and he may learn from his mistakes like Achilles" (Carol Thomas and Craig Conant 79)

"Greeks generally did not doubt the authenticity of their myths ... they tried to explain some of their more imaginary elements" (Joyce Salisbury and Gregory Aldrete)

However, the ancient Greeks could not always achieve this cultural ideal, especially in their war. In this respect, you can refer to the experience of the ancient Greeks in the Trojan war. At first glance, ancient Greeks tried to obey their cultural ideals. They worked together to defeat Troy with the power of ancient Greece. They want to defeat the major Greek opponents who anger their representatives. At the beginning of the war and in the process of war they used a sincere approach to struggle. But at the end of the war they used fraud and treachery to win the Trojan horse war. They cheated the Trojan horse and left Troy to pretend that he returned to Greece. Instead, they used the current Trojan horse to enter the town and opened the door so that the Greek forces could enter Troy.

On April 24, 1184 BC Troy City invaded the Greek army and finished the Trojan horse war. The Trojan War is an important story in Greek mythology and literature. Ancient Greek poet Homer wrote the last day of the Trojan War in his epic "Iliad". (The Troy's ancient name is Illion or Willion.) When the Prince Troy ran away with the Greek king's wife, the Trojan horse war began. When her husband, Menelaus, organized a fleet to collect her from Troy, Helen of Troy became "the face of a thousand ships." The war between the Greeks (who actually call themselves ammononites) and Trojans lasted ten years. At the end of the Trojan war, Greek commander Odysseus designed a plan to invade the city wall. The Greeks pretended to give up. Before leaving Troy Beach, they gave gifts to Trojans - giant trees. The Trojan opened the door to accept the horse. There are Greek forces armed in hollow horses, they laid down the city.
