The greeks are inside
menu
There is an old saying - Beware of Greeks bearing gifts! That old saying goes back in time 2,500 years to the city-state of Sparta in ancient Greece. here is the story ...... Once upon a time, there was an ancient city on the coast of Turkey named Troy. It was located across the Aegean Sea from the Greek city- state of Sparta. When the king of Sparta heard that his wife, the beautiful Helen, had been kidnapped by a prince of Troy, he called on the other Greek city-states to help him get her back. His call was answered. A thousand Greek ships set sail for Troy. The city of Troy was protected by a high wall built around the city. Some parts of the wall were 20 feet high! There were gates in the wall to let people in and out but it provided great defence for the people of Troy. It gave the Trojan warriors a relatively safe place to stand, while they rained arrows down on the people below, who were trying to break into the city. At the time of this story, Greek warriors had been trying to breach the wall around Troy for about ten years. The Greeks could not find a way in, and the Trojans did not seem able to drive the Greeks away. Things looked pretty hopeless until Odysseus, a famous ancient Greek general, thought of a trick. It was the custom back then to leave a peace offering behind to admit defeat. Odysseus suggested the Greeks build a huge, heavy, beautiful wooden horse, and leave it outside the gates of Troy. Then, the entire Greek army would pretend to leave, as if they were headed for home. But it was a trick. The horse would be hollow. Thirty men would be hiding inside. The very best Greek artists got busy carving the giant wooden horse, adding great detail, because everything in the Greek world had to be as beautiful as possible. When it was done, the Greek warriors pretended to sail away, leaving the horse behind. The people of Troy rushed outside, cheering their victory! They dragged the heavy horse inside the city gates and put it on display, which is just what the Greek general thought they would do - gloat. That night, while the Trojan people were sleeping, the men hiding inside the wooden horse climbed out and opened the gates. The waiting Greek army entered Troy. That was the end of Troy.

Robertsons Natural Sweet Red (South African) Rs750 Rs250As the story goes ..... As far as Aphrodite was concerned, there really was no comparison between Aphrodite and her half sister, Helen. Poor Helen was married to the king of Sparta. How boring for her. Aphrodite had no interest in being married at all. Both girls were probably Zeus' daughters. But Helen's mother was only a mortal. Everyone knew that Aphrodite's mother was probably a goddess. Helen was attractive certainly. But the truth was, as Aphrodite would tell you herself if you asked her, Aphrodite was the most beautiful goddess in the land. You can imagine Aphrodite's surprise when she heard that Paris, a lowly prince of the city - state of Troy, had proclaimed her half sister Helen as the fairest in the land. Aphrodite was not at all pleased. A short time later, a wedding was announced in the Greek god world. Eris, the spirit of disagreement, had not been invited. Eris made a surprise and most unwelcome visit to the wedding reception. She threw a golden apple of discord on the feasting table. "This apple is for whomever is the fairest," Eris proclaimed haughtily, hoping to cause trouble. Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena all grabbed for the apple. "It's mine," insisted the three goddesses, Aphrodite loudest of all. Zeus thundered, "Enough. Paris will decide who is the fairest. Hermes, go tell Paris he has a job to do." "Paris!" Aphrodite muttered. "Well, well." Paris found himself facing three of the most powerful goddesses in the world, all clamouring for his attention. "Paris will decide! Which one of us is the loveliest, Paris?" they demanded to know. Paris could have said they were all the most beautiful. But Paris was as foolish as he was handsome. Paris told all three goddesses that whichever goddess offered him the best bribe would be declared the fairest. Aphrodite, wise in the ways of foolish men, promised Paris that his brothers would be so jealous when the king of Sparta's wife, the beautiful Helen, fell instantly in love with him. Paris loved the idea. His brothers were always showing him up and making him feel foolish. This would show them! Foolishly, Paris took the bribe. He declared Aphrodite the fairest of them all. Aphrodite kept her promise. That very day, foolish Paris and Helen (enchanted) left Greece behind. They travelled together to the city of Troy, where they expected to live happily ever after. No one knows exactly how, but somehow, the gossip the king heard was that his beloved wife, Helen, had been kidnapped by Paris, a prince of Troy. The king of Sparta was determined to rescue his wife. When the king of Sparta called on the other kings of Greece to help, they rallied to his side. A huge navy of Greek warriors set sail for Troy. That was the beginning of the Trojan War. And the end of the city-state of Troy.
