“Unveiling the Untold: Discover the Enigmatic Lost Sequels of The Iliad That Could Rewrite History!”
The Sack of Troy starts a little earlier. It shows the Trojans deliberating about the Horse. Some think it’s a ruse, and advocate to push it off the cliffs into the ocean, while others are convinced it’s a sacred gift to the protector of the city, Athena. To destroy it would be sacrilege. Apollo tries to warn the Trojans by sending two snakes to kill the seer that predicted it was a trap. Probably walking away with the wrong idea, the Trojans decide to accept the gift, I can’t see why the warning was misunderstood. They bring the Horse in and start to party; the war is over. Aeneas reads the writing on the wall and decides to head out to Ida, and if you believe the Romans, to found Rome. The Trojans hold festivities. After all a ten-year war is now over. They get drunk and fall asleep. The Achaeans slip out of the Horse, signal their allies at sea, and the sacking of Troy begins. The internal and external assault works, and the Achaeans take the city. Neoptolemos kills King Priam, Menelaos gets what he came for, and along with Helen, the women of Troy are divided up among the Achaeans. After looting Troy they set fire to it, and kill stragglers in the surrounding area.
