Trojan War Diary

Today I was at a marriage ceremony between gods in Troy and they forgot to invite one god who became very angry. She came in the door with a golden apple and said that this apple was for the fairest lady in the building which Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite all three went for the apple which was strange because I believed that Hera was the fairest. But Paris got to choose because he was the “most beautiful man” of this time and for some reason he chose Aphrodite. Aphrodite promised him the fairest lady in the land which was Helen of Greece so he left to steal her away. I knew this was a big mistake for him because my country would take Troy over for this.

Today I was back in Greece and found out that we were going to set sail for Troy to get Helen back because Paris succeeded in taking Helen. I tried to get out of this war by acting insane but that dang Palamedes caught me on faking it so I had to go. Cinyras was supposed to make all 50 ships for us to take to Troy and he made one, with the other 49 being toy ships. I personally thought this was kind of funny because he was making a joke and I really didn’t want to go to war. Then thankfully a few people made Diana mad and she calmed the seas so we couldn’t leave to Troy. The only way that we could set sail for Troy was if Agamemnon was sacrificed, so they did that and we then set sail.

Over this next span of time I am going to talk about we set sail and landed by Telephus to get Helen back. The people here said that they did not take Helen but for some reason we took their city over anyway. After this we returned home and the king of Telephus had been wounded by Achilles. The only way he could be cured was if Achilles cured it and so in return for curing the king he told us where Helen was which was Troy. Once we got to Troy I had to go talk to the people of Troy to ask them for Helen and the treasures back. The people refused so we waged war on them.

The next nine years were the consistency of the Trojan War. We realized that Troy was getting supplies from their neighbors and so we took them over and stole their goods so Troy was shut off from all supplies. One of the most important parts to our army in Achilles was killed by Paris himself which really angered me. After this we got Achilles’ son to fight in the war and I led some men into Troy to take the Palladium. The next part is the best yet, we got the bright idea to make a Trojan horse and say it was a gift for giving up in the war and we were leaving their land, but really it was a way for us to get all of our soldiers into Troy to take their city over and get Helen and the treasure back. This succeeded and we were able to return to Troy with Helen and all the treasure but a loss of many good men including Achilles. Odysseus
