The Trojan War The Greeks sailed to Troy, but the Trojans refused to return Helen and thus the war was on; but Troy was so well defended that all the Greeks could do was surround the city and wear them down slowly by a siege.

But there are some noteworthy stories of his life before the war began: first is the scene by Rubens showing the popular legend that his mother Thetis dipped him into the river Styx, which made him invulnerable to harm, except for the spot on his heel where she held him, hence the term 'Achilles' heel'. www.uwm.edu /Course/mythology/1100/twar1.htm   (2882 words)
