The sack of Troy

What historical event fascinates you the most?

Troy!!!!! Yes!!!!! The sack of Troy captured exquisitely by the blind bard Homer, along with Odysseus’ journeys thereafter. The great Brad Pitt who played Achilles so perfectly! Achilles is now down in Hades contemplating the river Stix. Ehm, the city was in what is now Turkey ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท, it was discovered by a German archeologist named Heinrich Schliemann. He had a beautiful broad called Helen, and he would endow upon her miraculous jeweled necklaces. Helen, of course, being blissfully so, the gorgeous hun everybody was fighting over.

So ya, they found Agamemnon’s mask in Southern Greece. I love Aeschylus!!!!! Orestes was such a good read!!!!! Love it!!!! Hector the Tamer of Horses, battling Achiles at the gates!!! What a scene it must have been.

Anyways, ya!!!!!!!

That’s the historical event that fascinates me!

Thank you for reading!
