More stories from Ancient Greece

With our previous story Odysseus, a very short version of the the story told by Homer and told to us by another Homer, we learned a few things.

-The Trojans were tricked by a gift of a wooden horse
-The Greeks angered the Gods by not giving a sacrifice as an offering
-The Gods were spiteful

Many of the Ancient Greek stories are used today in the study of human nature and many of the names of the characters are used today in the names of mental illnesses.
