How and why the Trojan war started
You've probably heard of the Trojan war. Of the epic battle between the Trojans and the Greeks, the latter of whom ultimately win the 10-year-war thanks to the cunning use of a massive wooden horse. But why did this war take place at all? Why did Paris abduct Helen? Why did the Greek gods take sides? Is it historically accurate to depict centaurs playing saxophones during ancient Greek wedding? Watch to get answers to at least two of these questions. Discover more about the myth of the Trojan War in the BP exhibition Troy: myth and reality from 21 November 2019 – 8 March 2020.
