The beginning of the end. :(
My only consolation is the death of Paris (yes, I always despised the little prick).

No words needed.
A great change in the world regardless of his character flaws (nicely put, Mr. Fry).

Ladies and gentlemen: the main bloodshed, THE duel immortalized in the Iliad
(After a lot of other people were slaughtered and even a river god was fought.)

In addition to Herakles, there was another physically impressive warrior: Ajax the Great (yes, there were two and yes, the other one was called the Lesser).
Ajax and Hector had an incredibly intense duel (usually forgotten because of THE duel that comes later), which deserves mentioning.

I always despair when we get to the duel between Paris and Menelaos and how Troy was ALMOST saved. But nooo, these great Greek heroes had to be utter assholes (not to mention the infuriating meddling of certain goddesses) and all went to hell. *buries face in hands*
Interesting that Helen now hates Paris and how he treats her. Don't get me wrong, I'm right there with her, but it makes you wonder (see my 6th update).

The reason Achilles (briefly) walked away from potential glory and the Trojan War
Though Achilles wasn't really much better than Agamemnon. There are lots of romantic takes on Achilles' and Briseis' "relationship" but I bet it was just to let him appear in a better light.

The grande invasion force
There are, of course, inconsistencies in the Iliad (years skipped, people's ages thus not adding up) but suffice it to say that the Greeks couldn't breach Troy's walls for ages. *lol*

Helen of Sparta Troy
Was she abducted? Did she fall in love with Paris and leave her husband? Was she manipulated/forced by Aphrodite? Why did the Trojans take her son Pleisthenes but not her daughter Hermione (and why is the boy never mentioned again)?

Can we take a moment to talk about just how disgusting Apollo's way of cursing Cassandra was (spitting in her mouth)?

To be fair: neither side was behaving honourably what with that terrible fight over the corpse. Still, since it's civilians (especially women and children) who had to suffer after Troy fell, I can't say "they deserved it" since it was blood-raged soldiers who committed the atrocities. And the Greek side would have deserved the same but didn't get it. Which just goes to show that there is no actual justice in life - it's a concept invented by man.
