请你带着这2个问题来听本期故事：

1、特洛伊战争因何而起？

2、特洛伊木马是谁建造的？

Having been promised by Aphrodite the love of the most beautiful woman,Paris abducted Helen,wife of Menelaus of Sparta.Refusing to return Helen, Menelaus’brother,Agamemnon,gathered a great army of Greeks to sail to Troy.At Aulis,the army was gathered,with the greatest Greek heroes among them-Achilles,Patroclus,Odysseus,Nestor to name a few.

特洛伊王子帕里斯得到了爱情女神阿佛洛狄忒的承诺，会赢得世界上最美丽的女人的爱，他绑架了斯巴达王墨涅劳斯的妻子海伦并拒绝送还海伦。墨涅劳斯的兄弟阿伽门农，召集了一支希腊大军驶向特洛伊。在奥利斯港，军队集结了起来，其中包括最伟大的希腊英雄——阿基琉斯、帕特洛克勒斯、奥德修斯、内斯特等。

However, there was no wind for the ships to sail and the warriors started to complain. The reason for this was the killing of Artemis’sacred deer by Agamemnon. The Greek King was forced to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia, to appease Artemis and the winds came.

然而，风向不利于船只航行，勇士们也开始抱怨。原因是阿伽门农杀死了狩猎女神阿耳忒弥斯的神鹿。于是希腊国王被迫献祭了他的女儿依菲琴尼亚来安抚阿尔忒弥斯，于是风就来了。

For nine years the Greek army was trying to enter the walls of Troy without any luck. Finally, Odysseus had an idea to build a gigantic hollow wooden horse, in which a small group of warriors would conceal. The other Greeks appeared to sail for home, leaving behind the horse as a gift to the Trojans.

九年来，希腊军队一直试图攻入特洛伊城，但都没有成功。最后，奥德修斯有了一个主意，他造了一个巨大的空心木马，里面藏着一小队战士。其他希腊人则佯装启航回家了，留下这匹马作为礼物送给特洛伊人。

Despite the warnings of Cassandra and others, the Trojans took the horse inside the walls and celebrated with a lot of wine and music. When everyone was asleep, the Greek warriors crept out of the horse and opened the gates. The Greek army entered without resistance and Troy fell.

特洛伊人不顾预言家卡珊德拉和其他人的警告，把马带进了城内，饮酒奏乐庆祝。当所有人都睡着时，希腊战士们从马中悄悄爬出来，打开城门。希腊军队不费吹灰之力就进入了特洛伊城，特洛伊就此沦陷。

Achilles died during the battle, having been hit in the heel by an arrow. The gods also took part in the war. Hera, Poseidon and Athena aided the Greeks, while Ares and Aphrodite the Trojans.

阿基琉斯在战斗中被一箭射中脚跟而死。众神也参与了战争。赫拉、波塞冬和雅典娜助力希腊人，战神阿瑞斯和阿佛洛狄忒帮助了特洛伊人。
