1. GODS who supported the Trojans were: Aphrodite, Apollo, Poseidon, and (for a while) Athena.
2. The warrior Achilles is one of the great heroes of Greek mythology. Achilles had a complicated family tree. His father was Peleus, the mortal king of the Myrmidons-a people who, according to legend, were extraordinarily fearless and skilled soldiers. His mother was Thetis, a Nereid. According to myths and stories composed long after the Iliad, Thetis was extraordinarily concerned about her baby son's mortality. She did everything she could to make him immortal: She burned him over a fire every night, then dressed his wounds with ambrosial ointment; and she dunked him into the River Styx, whose waters were said to confer the invulnerability of the gods. However, she gripped him tightly by the foot as she dipped him into the river-so tightly that the water never touched his heel. As a result, Achilles was invulnerable everywhere but there.
3. The Trojans believed the huge wooden horse was a peace offering to their gods and thus a symbol of their victory after a long siege.

5.According to a variant of the story, Helen, in widowhood, was driven out by her stepsons and fled to Rhodes, where she was hanged by the Rhodian queen Polyxo in revenge for the death of her husband, Tlepolemus, in the Trojan War. The poet Stesichorus, however, related in his second version of her story that she and Paris were driven ashore on the coast of Egypt and that Helen was detained there by King Proteus. The Helen carried on to Troy was thus a phantom, and the real one was recovered by her husband from Egypt after the war. This version of the story was used by Euripides in his play Helen.
