Then theirs Philoctetes (not the satyr from the Disney's Hercules movie) he was a friend to Hercules and inherited his Hydra poison bow and arrows, on the voyage to Troy due to Hera being Hera the captain of his ship marooned him for ten years and once you find out who that captain is you'll realize he had a karma punishment.Īnd did you know that the first battle of the war was between Achillies and Cycnus a son of Poseidon who also had an invulnerability like Achillies. I thought I knew all the terrible things he did but turn out this guy is a bigger scumbag than I thought, after hearing what he did to this Palamedes guy just because he was jealous So if you've heard the name Agamemnon you know that he's the biggest jerk. Here are some examples but without too much spoilers. Also Paris had a wife or by some sources girlfriend before he met Helen, a Nymph named Oenone.Īnd there are plenty of more facts and stories about the Trojan war that go unnoticed. She and Menelaus had a daughter named Hermione (no I am not making that up) knowing that it kinda warps how you viewed her kidnapping/running away. Yeah that's right, I was surprised when I found that out. The Iliad isn't even the last one, Achilles doesn't die in it nor does the Trojan Horse gets build their all separate books theirs tons most people don't know aboutįor example everyone knows the war stared over Helen of Troy, but did you know that aside from being the most beautiful woman in the ancient world she was also a mother? I'm still learning thing about the war like did you know there are over ten books on it?! Some of which are actually prequels to the war. So why not another book on the Trojan war? Now you might be thinking that everyone already know everything about the Trojan war, and you'd be wrong. I didn't read these books till recently, when I first heard about them I didn't take them seriously, but it turns out their actually informative, I ended up learning about new heroes/gods as well as more information on heroes/gods I thought I knew everything about. This would be like Percy Jackson's Greek Gods/Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes books.
