xenophon of athens
the trojan war cycle, a collection of epic poems, starts with the events leading up to the war: eris and the golden apple of kallisti, the judgement of paris, the abduction of helen, the sacrifice of iphigenia at aulis. to recover helen, the greeks launched a great expedition under the overall command of menelaus's brother, agamemnon, king of argos or mycenae, but the trojans refused to return helen. the "iliad", which is set in the tenth year of the war, tells of the quarrel between agamemnon and achilles, who was the finest greek warrior, and the consequent deaths in battle of achilles' beloved comrade patroclus and priam's eldest son, hector. after hector's death the trojans were joined by two exotic allies, penthesilea, queen of the amazons, and memnon, king of the ethiopians and son of the dawn-goddess eos. achilles killed both of these, but paris then managed to kill achilles with an arrow in the heel. achilles' heel was the only part of his body which was not invulnerable to damage by human weaponry. before they could take troy, the greeks had to steal from the citadel the wooden image of pallas athena (the palladium). finally, with athena's help, they built the trojan horse. despite the warnings of priam's daughter cassandra, the trojans were persuaded by sinon, a greek who feigned desertion, to take the horse inside the walls of troy as an offering to athena; the priest laocoon, who tried to have the horse destroyed, was killed by sea-serpents. at night the greek fleet returned, and the greeks from the horse opened the gates of troy. in the total sack that followed, priam and his remaining sons were slaughtered; the trojan women passed into slavery in various cities of greece. the adventurous homeward voyages of the greek leaders (including the wanderings of odysseus and aeneas (the "aeneid"), and the murder of agamemnon) were told in two epics, the returns (the lost "nostoi") and homer's "odyssey". the trojan cycle also includes the adventures of the children of the trojan generation (e.g., orestes and telemachus).
