This history documentary series explores the Trojan War as recounted by Homer in the Iliad and the Odyssey. In episode 1, Dawn of War we begin by discussing our sources on the story of the Trojan War which include artistic and textual sources. We then briefly discuss the period of the Greek Bronze Age and the so called Age of Heroes which serves as the setting for Homer's account of the Trojan War. With this preamble completed, we then follow the story of the Trojan War.
Episode 1 covers the story of how the Trojan War began with Zeus instigating a war between Greece and Troy by sending Hermes to sow discord amongst the gods in a wedding. A golden apple with the inscription "for the fairest" is rolled before the party and draw the attention of Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. These bicker over who should receive the golden apple and the matter is eventually brought to a mortal judge, Paris of Troy. He chooses Aphrodite and in return is promised Helen of Troy. This fateful decision leads to him stealing Helen from Menelaus, the king of Sparta who then goes to his brother Agamemnon and rallies all of Greece to secure her return. We then follow the advance of the Greek fleet up to the shores of Troy. Stay tuned for more episodes on the siege of Troy including the famous battle of Achilles vs Hector and the Trojan Horse. We will also follow up with episodes on did the Trojan War really happen.
