Tour Guide of Sanctuary “Troia”
.
Troia War
One of the greatest episodes even within Greek mythology.
In order to bring down Troia City in minor Asia, various countries of Greece formed an allied force under the command of Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae. They crossed over the sea in a great expedition.
Not only there were legendary heroes including the hero Achilles fighting each other, even the gods of Olympus were taking part in the war in the fierce fighting.
What put an end to the prolonged battle was the Trojan Horse.
It was the plan that was hatched by that famous hero, Odysseus.
.
City of Troia
This city was also called Ilios. It was extremely prosperous.
The king who ruled it descended from Zeus.
An archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann who believed in Troia’s existence invested his private funds and set out to discover the city, and achieved a great success that went down in history.

The confrontation of the gods
The defending Troia force and the attacking Greece force, both sides were supported by the gods. Assisting the force of Greece were the goddess of wisdom and war Athena, the god of sea Poseidon, and the chief god Zeus’s wife Hera.
On the other hand, god of sun Apollo, god of war Ares, and god of beauty and love Aphrodite supported the force of Troia.
The chief god Zeus didn’t support any side, he was watching over both factions equally──.
.
Olympus
A high mountain that was nearly 3000 meter above sea level. The sacred ground that was considered where the gods of Greek mythology were living.

you know what, I think it will be more easier for people to understand if you put some notes to tell that Troia is another name of Troy, or it was how the country was supposed to be called in ancient greek, Τροία. I had some debate with my little sister because She keep saying that the name is wrong. beside there’s a place called troia in portugal which actually had nothing to do with troy. anyway, thank you for choosing to translate SnC. I really want to read it for a long time… great job man!

Feels weird to see Troia in english not be referred as Trojan.
Also “was nearly 3000 meter above” -> “was nearly 3000 meters above”.
Thank you.
