Odyssey prelude LA Times Crossword Clue |
TROJAN WAR |
Answer Explanation
The Trojan War, a pivotal event in Greek mythology, serves as the prelude to Homer’s epic poem, the "Odyssey." This legendary conflict, fought between the Greeks and the Trojans, was sparked by Paris of Troy abducting Helen, the wife of the Greek king Menelaus. The war, which lasted ten years, saw the Greeks eventually triumph using the cunning of the Trojan Horse.
The aftermath of the war and its heroes’ journeys form the backdrop for the "Odyssey," which chronicles the adventures of Odysseus as he attempts to return home. The Trojan War's dramatic and heroic tales are central to understanding the epic's context and characters.
