  26. Troy • The trading city called both Ilium and Troy prospered roughly 3500 years ago on the northwestern coast of what is today Turkey. • Eventually, somewhere between 1450 and 1250 BC, there was a war (or more probably a series of wars) between the “Greek” cities and the “Trojan” cities. • Neither Greeks nor Trojans were organized into a unified state, so these conflicts took the form of clashes between alliances of city-states. We must suspect that these alliances were plagued by constant internal squabbling, crises of leadership, and somewhat unstable membership.

  27. Thursday: 10-3-13 • Quiz • Notes (slides) • Finish clip

  28. Helen • Tyndareus, king of Sparta, was married to a beautiful young woman named Leda. • Leda was so beautiful, in fact, that she attracted the attention of Zeus who visited her in the form of a magnificent swan. • The result of this visit was that Leda laid two eggs from which various children hatched, including a quite astonishingly gorgeous daughter named Helen and her egg-mate. • Helen’s more-than-human beauty eventually attracted many passionate suitors. The suitors tended to be heads of states and commanders of armies, and they were so especially many and so especially passionate that Tyndareus worried that, if one of them successfully won Helen’s hand, war might break out among the losers.

  29. Accordingly, before he let Helen pick a husband, he made all the suitors swear to accept her decision, and even to defend her husband should she ever prove unfaithful. • When she made her choice, the glad and giddy bridegroom was a certain Menelaus, by suspect coincidence the wealthiest of them, who eventually also became king of Sparta.

  30. Paris • Meanwhile in Troy King Priam and Queen Hecuba had many sons and daughters, but just before one of these babies was be born, the queen dreamed that he would grow up to be a flaming torch and would destroy the city. • The dream was taken as a serious omen, and when the child arrived, the king and queen decided that he should be destroyed. • The unpleasant project was entrusted to a random shepherd. • Now the shepherd had no children of his own and reasoned that it was a shame to waste a perfectly good (and cute) baby boy just because of somebody else’s silly dream, so he secretly kept the child and raised it as his son. The boy’s name was Paris, and he grew up as a shepherd. • So Paris grew up tending sheep, composing songs, and being rustically picturesque. Oh yes, he also grew up to be astonishingly handsome.

  31. The Judgment of Paris… • On Mt. Olympus Zeus had been having an affair with a certain Aegina, much to the consternation of his wife Hera. • It became a public scandal when Zeus’ dealing resulted in the birth of a son, who was given the name of Aeacus. • Aeacus grew up to be an agreeable enough young man, but Hera, who was never easy to get along with even in the best of times, absolutely loathed him. • Aeacus and his wife had a son named Peleus, who was eventually married to a sea nymph named Thetis. • The wedding of Aeacus’ son Peleus to the nymph Thetis was apparently quite an important social function among the godly set, but unfortunately Eris, the goddess of strife and ever a trouble-maker, was not invited. • In vengeance, she tossed a golden apple among the guests as a prize for the “fairest” goddess among them.

  32. There were three self-proclaimed candidates, who immediately began squabbling: Hera, queen of the gods, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom. • It was decided to put the choice to a mortal man and Zeus accordingly sent them down to Mt. Ida, where they found the appealing Paris innocently tending his sheep. • In a scene that would live forever among Western artists under the name “The Judgment of Paris,” the three beautiful goddesses asked him to choose objectively among them and to say who was the most superlatively magnificent.

  33. Each of these goddesses seems to have been a bit insecure about her looks, and all three were quite competitive, so each of them began to offer him bribes to choose her over the other two. • Hera, queen of the gods, offered him military power. • Athena goddess of wisdom (and war) offered knowledge. • Aphrodite, goddess of beauty, offered the most beautiful woman in the world as his wife.

  34. Paris, having spent more time among sheep than is good for a person, could not resist the idea of a beautiful wife and accepted Aphrodite’s offer, leaving Hera and Athena furious and set on vengeance. • The lad was even more astonishingly handsome than his father, and Helen fell in love with him on sight.

  36. Paris Meets Helen… • Paris was sent off with a merchant fleet of his own to see the world and, of course, to look for the wife Aphrodite had promised him. • Eventually he heard of a divinely beautiful candidate, none other than Helen, wife of the red-haired Spartan king, Menelaus. • With Aphrodite’s intervention, and while Menelaus was temporarily away on business, Paris seduced and/or kidnapped Helen and sailed away to Troy. • When Menelaus got home he was just as furious at Paris as Hera and Athena had been before. • In any case, enraged at Paris, Menelaus vowed to take vengeance on him (and, of course, to recover Helen). • Menelaus teamed up with Agamemnon.

  37. About the only leader who thought the whole plan was idiotic was Odysseus of Ithaca, who figured Helen couldn’t possibly be worth all the fuss. He pretended to be insane in hopes of being left in Greece, but he was tricked into revealing his sanity, and was duly forced to honor his agreement. As he correctly foresaw, once he got mixed up in the war, his life was never to be the same again.

  38. Achilles • The man who was destined to be the greatest warrior of all the Greeks was Achilles, the son of Peleus and of the sea nymph Thetis. • Thetis, being a supernatural and foreseeing that her vigorously athletic son was likely to perish should he go to war, hastily sent him off with instructions to dress as a girl and live with the daughters in the middle of nowhere.

  39. The War… • The Greek forces used the port of Aulis as a gathering point. • However, ill winds prevented their leaving the harbor. • Divination revealed that Agamemnon, the Greek leader, had offended the goddess Artemis.

  40. The goddess demanded the sacrifice of his daughter Iphigenia if the ships were to leave. • Iphigenia was sent for with the false promise that she was to be wed to the studly Achilles. • On her arrival she was duly sacrificed, despite Agamemnon’s regret that duty required this of him. • The Greek forces, after raiding, marauding, and plundering many a Trojan ally or other hapless settlement en route managed to secure the offshore island of Tenedos when Achilles slew king Tenes. • (This was a bad idea, since Tenes was a son of the god Apollo, who remained annoyed with Achilles throughout the Iliad.)

  41. They landed eventually on the shores of Ilium opposite it, and threw up a great wall of earth as a shelter for their camp. • Behind this wall, close to the boats, they built themselves a village of huts, where they ended up living for ten long years as they tried to sack Troy while the Trojans tried to burn them in their boats.

  42. Homer’s Iliad, probably written sometime about 800 BC or a little after (so four or five hundred years later), is set in the ninth year of war. • At the point where Homer’s story opens, the Trojans have still never quite managed to force the Greeks out to sea (preferably in a violent storm), and the Greeks have never quite succeeded in their plans to storm their way inside Troy, slit Paris, grab Helen, take all the money, and leave the city a smoldering heap with no commercial future. • And everybody on both sides is quite tired of the whole project and inclined to be a bit testy about it. • And thus begins one of the greatest stories in the history of world literature.

  43. Journal: My Hero Answer the following questions: • What is your definition of a hero? • Who is your hero? • How does Webster Dictionary define the word hero? • Who do you think will be the hero in The Iliad? Why?
