The Legend of the Fall of Troy

The Legend of the Fall of Troy recounts the story of the city of Troy's destruction, a pivotal event in Greek mythology. The Greeks besieged Troy for ten years, culminating in the clever use of the Trojan Horse—a giant wooden statue hiding soldiers inside—to gain entry. Once inside, the Greeks opened the gates, leading to the city’s fall. This event marks the end of the Trojan War, a clash rooted in themes of pride, deception, and heroism. The legend highlights the tragic costs of war and cunning strategies that changed the course of history and mythology.
