Horrid, bloody, intense and value nothing are the depictions one can madeout of picturing out how was the Trojan war started fiercely by warriors. It wasbecause of Paris who took Helen from his husband Menelaus, the king of Sparta.Trojan War is the biggest event which contributed a lot to the Greek mythology.This is one of Homers works which speaks primarily about the struggles andconflicts between gods and goddesses.

The Illiad is an important work of Homer after having narrated the thingshappened during the Trojan War. A continuation of the battles of gods but for thistime the mortals are just being influenced by the will of Gods just like the will ofZeus.

enveloped with darkness for having experiencing the complications bought by thewar. The poem begins with a fight between the Greeks leader King Agamemnon ofMycenae and the Greeksbest fighter Achilles. Both of them are prideful that they

cannot even know how to control it. They let their pride rule their lives. Briseis isthe woman captured by Achilles and took her as his slave.

Thus,without further inquiries he decide to left the group of warriors and refused to fightanymore. With this, Greeks starting losing during the battles. Patrioclos, the friendof Achilles had decided to dress like Achilles and tried to fight for the Greeks but itwas a failure.
