This epic war dragged on for ten years. The Greeks could not break into Troy and the Trojans could not drive them off.
Aeneas
Many heroes were killed on both sides. One great Trojan hero was Aeneas, Aphrodite’s son by Anchises. He was wounded by Diomedes and Aphrodite rushed to help him. Diomedes stopped her and even dared graze her with his spear. In the end, Apollo carried him to Leto and Artemis, who healed him.
Achilles
The most famous Greek warrior was Achilles. He was One of the seven sons of Thetis and Peleus. She made six of her sons immortal by burning away their mortal half. She was doing the same for the baby Achilles, when Peleus came in. He thought she was hurting the child and prevented her, finishing, so Achilles was left with one vulnerable place on his body where he could be fatally wounded the heel
by which Thetis had held him.
Achilles was given the choice of a long. undistinguished life or a short but glorious one. He chose the second. As time went on. the warriors began to quarrel. Achilles argued with Agamemnon over a slave girl and left the battle. sulking. The Greeks lost heart and were driven back by the Trojan hero Hector, Priam’s son.
