FOR THE ANCIENT GREEK, MYTHS HAVE BEEN PART OF THEIR LIFE WHICH PAST

ON THROUGH ALL GENERATION. ALTHOUGH BINDED BY THEIR ANCESTOR'S STORY,

THEY HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THOSE MYTHS WAS THE FOUNDATION OF THEIR
CIVILIZATION, THUS HELP THEM BECAME THE CENTER OF ANCIENT WORLD. 
ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR MYTH WHICH LAST UNTIL NOW IS THE LEGEND OF
TROJAN WAR. TROJAN WAR BECAME AN IMPORTANT MYTH BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST
TOLD STORY IN THE GREEK HISTORY. EVEN UNTIL NOW THERE ARE STILL ARGUMENTS
TO PROVE THE STORY.
THE WAR IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY
AND HAS BEEN NARRATED THROUGH MANY WORKS OF GREEK LITERATURE, MOST
NOTABLY HOMER'S ILIAD. THE CORE OF THE ILIAD DESCRIBES A PERIOD OF FOUR DAYS
AND TWO NIGHTS IN THE TENTH YEAR OF THE DECADE-LONG SIEGE OF TROY; THE
ODYSSEY DESCRIBES THE JOURNEY HOME OF ODYSSEUS, ONE OF THE WAR'S HEROES.
OTHER PARTS OF THE WAR ARE DESCRIBED IN A CYCLE OF EPIC POEMS, WHICH HAVE
SURVIVED THROUGH FRAGMENTS. EPISODES FROM THE WAR PROVIDED MATERIAL FOR
GREEK TRAGEDY AND OTHER WORKS OF GREEK LITERATURE, AND FOR ROMAN POETS
INCLUDING VIRGIL AND OVID.

THE WAR STARTED BECAUSE OF THE KIDNAPPING OF PRINCESS HELENA, THE

WIFE OF THE SPARTAN'S KING, MENELAUS, BY THE THE CHARMING PRINCE OF TROJAN
KINGDOM FROM FRANCE. TO THE GREEK, THIS WAR HAS A VERY DEEP MEANING AND
THEY ARE ALWAYS PROUD TO REMEMBER IT. THE WAR SHOWN THE GREEK'S ABILITY
TO COMBINE BOTH MUSCLE AND BRAIN.
UNDER THE BRAVE WARRIOR, ACHILLES, GREEK WHO BEFORE WAS TORN INTO MANY
COUNTRIES WHICH WERE FIGHTING AND COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER, WAS
UNITED WITH ONE ULTIMATE GOAL TO DESTROY KING PRIAM'S FORTRESS. WITH THE
HELP OF ODYSSEUS, ACHILLES HAS AN HONOR MISSION THAT IS TO BRING BACK THE
PRIDE OF GREEK WHICH WAS TAKEN AFTER THE KIDNAPPING OF PRINCESS HELENA.
IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DUEL BETWEEN AC MILAN AGAINST LIVERPOOL IN TONIGHT'S
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL, MILAN'S COACH, CARLO ANCELOTTI, HAS EXPERIENCED
THE PRICE OF A SINGLE CARELESSNESS. LIKE KING PRIAM WHO LET THE TROJAN HORSE
ENTERED HIS FORTRESS, ANCELOTTI WAS ARROGANT AND LET STEVEN GERRARD
TORN APART HIS TEAM'S DEFENSE IN THE SECOND HALF OF 2005 FINAL.
THE EFFECT WAS A TOTAL DISASTER. JUST LIKE THE TROJAN PALACE WHICH WAS
DESTROYED AND CANCELLED THE HONEYMOON OF PRINCE PARIS AND PRINCESS
HELENA. MILANISTI HAVE TO FORGET THE GLORY OF WINNING THE CHAMPIONS
LEAGUE TROPHY. MILAN WERE CARELESS, LIKE TROJAN WHO WERE PARTYING WITH
THE PRESENCE OF THE TROJAN HORSE, THEY WERE CELEBRATING AFTER THEY WENT 3-
0 AHEAD IN THE FIRST HALF.
THE TWO MIGHTY TEAMS WILL AGAIN COME FACE TO FACE IN THIS YEAR'S FINAL.
MAYBE IT IS A COINCIDENCE, RAFA BENITEZ AND CARLO ANCELOTTI WILL PLAY IN
GREECE, WHERE THE LEGEND OF TROJAN HORSE CAME FROM. FOR THE TWO SIDE,
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TROPHY IS THE ONLY SILVERWARE THEY CAN WIN THIS YEAR, SO
THEY UNDOUBTEDLY WILL DO ANYTHING TO WIN IT. THE TROPHY IS LIKE A PRIDE
THEY MUST DEFEND, LIKE MENELAUS WHO WAS HUMILIATED WHEN HIS WIFE WHO
WAS HIS PRIDE, TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM. LIVERPOOL AND MILAN SURELY WON'T LET
THE PRIDE OF THEIR SEASON'S LOST.

THE ILIAD, THE STORY OF THE TROJAN WAR, OFFERS SEVERAL MORAL LESSONS
TO ITS READERS, INCLUDING THE IMPORTANCE OF LEADERS TREATING THEIR
SOLDIERS WITH RESPECT, THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCEPTING APOLOGIES, AND THE NEED
FOR RESPECTING FAMILY BONDS.
