Chess Set reflecting Battle of Troy

The battle of Troy ensued, as ancient Greek poet Homer writes down, as Trojan king Paris abducted Helen, the beautiful wife of the king of Sparta.

The Greeks were winning in the beginning and thus they were confident enough that within a few weeks the war would end. But they were not right at all. For more than nine years the war continued.

Patrolus, the sword brother and friend of invincible Achilles, died as the first hero. Still Achilles did not agree to fight since with Agamemnon, the high king, he had an argument.

But Patrolus was quite confident that only if Achilles came forward to join the battle the Greeks could come out victorious. As Achilles did not oblige him, Patrolus sought permission to ride out in the armor of Achilles so that the Trojans could be cowed down. To that Achilles gave his nod. Immediately Patrolus rode out into the battlefield and the Trojans presumed him to be Achilles, the immortal.

But as a young Trojan fighter threw off the helmet of Patrolus it was clear that Achilles was not that warrior. As they got rid of fear they did not delay to kill Patrolus cruelly.

The grief-torn Achilles went almost mad, wept and pulled out his hair. Next he did swear the he would finish off Hector, the Trojan leader in the war and Paris’s own brother who had killed Patrolus. Achilles killed Hector and over the whole battleground ground dragged his body.

Ultimately the Trojans lost the war once drew in the wooden horse with the false notion that total victory was within their grip.
