  The Trojan War | La Guerra de Troya, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
The supreme leader of Troy was King Priam 1, but he who was in effective command of the Trojan forces was his son the crown prince Hector 1, remembered as the pillar of Troy for his efforts and courage.
Trojans were called all those who were under the sway of Priam 1, whether they came from the city of Troy or not.
And assuming the shape of Laodocus 3, a Trojan spearman, she induced Pandarus 1 to shoot an arrow at Menelaus.

The Trojan Horse is part of the myth of the Trojan War, as told in Virgil's Latin epic poem The Aeneid.
The Trojans hugely celebrated the end of the siege, so that, when the Greeks emerged from the horse, the city was in a drunken stupor.
The speculation exists that the Trojan Horse is a folk memory of an earthquake in which Poseidon, personified as a horse, tramples the Trojan walls.

 Trojan Kings
Although the Trojan War was of great importance in Antiquity, neither Troy nor the war are mentioned in the thousands of claytablets with diplomatic correspondence of the Hittites living in Turkey at the time, although these tablets do mention for instance, the battle of Kadesh against the Pharaoh.
The combined genealogy confirms that Homer's Troy was situated in England as it is most unlikely that Brutus would have been allowed to found a new capital in this country and become its king if he had not had strong ancestral ties with the local population and a claim to the throne.
According to Homer, the Trojans did indeed introduce the horse into the city, but we can be sure that the warriors hidden inside were dead, as it is impossible, from a military point of view, to take a large city with a handful of soldiers.

 Abstracts | The Fall of Troy in the Renaissance Imagination
In this paper I will examine the legend of the Trojan settlement of the Venetian lagoon as a primary element of the "Myth of Venice," which was given its full articulation in the chronicles and histories of the city of Venice by the sixteenth century.
At once a superb exercise in imitatio, a subversive commentary on Horace's ut pictura poiesis, and a complex representation of gender, Shakespeare's ekphrasis, I argue, dominates the poem and challenges the Elizabethan mythologization of the Trojans as the imperial ancestors of the English.
The increasing interest in the subject in Rome seems to relate to the symbolic use made of this myth by the generation of humanists of the time of Raphael, which focused on the venerability of Rome as a source of civilization and as a supposedly `eternal' centre of arts and culture.

 The Trojans and Gildas Quartus
Anyone with access to standard classical texts could see that there is an error here in the Trojan kings, which should be emended to show: Anchises son of Capys son of Assaracus son of Tros son of Erichthonius son of Dardanus, said to be a son of Zeus (or Jupiter).
This genealogy, along with the related genealogy of Britto in HB 17, were superseded by the account of HRB, which, as in HB 10, showed Brutus as a son of Silvius.
The idea of linking Óðin to the Trojan kings and thence to Noah would never have occurred spontaneously, or in any case have succeeded, if it were not for the catalyst provided by HB, but once it was done, the result was so appealing that it could never be undone.

Brutus (Brut, Brute, Welsh Bryttys), a descendant of the Trojan hero Aeneas, was known in medieval British legend as the eponymous founder and first king of Britain.
Another chapter traces Brutus's genealogy differently, making him the great-grandson of the legendary Roman king Numa Pompilius, who was himself a son of Ascanius, and tracing his descent from Noah's son Japheth.
The Trojans win most of their battles but are conscious that the Gauls have the advantage of numbers, so go back to their ships and sail for Britain, then called Albion.

 Achilles
Later on Agamemnon, the leader of the Greeks, was forced by an oracle of Apollo to give up his own war-prize, the woman Chryseis, and took Briseis away from Achilles as compensation for his loss.
The next day Patroclus was killed and stripped of the armor by the Trojan hero Hector, who mistook him for Achilles.
Finally Priam's son Paris (or Alexander), aided by Apollo, wounded Achilles in the heel with an arrow; Achilles died of the wound.

 Trojan Genealogy of Nennius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Trojan genealogy of Nennius was written in the Historia Brittonum of Nennius and was created to merge Greek mythology with Christian themes.
It was probably written by the Welsh monk Nennius in the 5th century, although there is little known about him.
As with most mythical genealogies of Judeo-Christian origins, Nennius splits the line at this point.

Though Zeus grants the Trojans the better of the fighting for much of the Iliad, and does manage to frighten Odysseus away from battle on a single occasion in Book 8, Odysseus seldom fails to stand out among the Greeks against the oncoming Trojans, refusing to yield until seriously wounded.
He is also crucial in convincing the troops not to pack up and head for home after Agamemnon fails to rouse their fighting spirit to attack after the false dream Zeus sent him.
Later in the battle, he stands tall with the two Ajaxes and Diomedes against the oncoming Trojans, spurred on by Ares, god of war, and slaughters several Trojans in succession.

 Chapter 8: Trade and Economics
It would seem that in the Trojan world of Asia Minor, which is closer to the Eastern seats of ancient culture and business, this sort of thing happened from time to time, but it was inconceivable to the "Greeks" who were not aware of financial trickery.
We are entirely too economically oriented when we explain the causes of the Trojan War as a need for Greek free trade into the rich Euxine area, although this may also have been involved.
But if the Trojans habitually distrained on debts, and the Greeks built up a bad memory of many such defaults, this would provide exactly the kind of insult upon which a war could be based.
