Cornell Method Note TakingTrojan War

SubjectMain idea Supporting details

Maybe we can condense that a little

more??

Trojan WarsApple of discord Trojan war began because

Eris, the Goddess of discord, was not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, a Sea Goddess, so Eris brought a Golden Apple which she claimed belonged to whomever was the fairest. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite argued over who would receive it, and Paris, prince of Troy, was to choose. Hera promised power, Athena promised wealth, and Aphrodite promised the most beautiful woman in the world. This woman was Helen, wife of Menelaus of Sparta. Paris took Helen back to Troy.

The apple of discord Trojan war began because Eris, the Goddess of discord brought a Golden Apple belonging to the fairest woman: between Hera, Athena, and Aprhodite. Paris, Prince of Troy was the judge. Hera promised power, Athena promised wealth, and Aphrodite promised the most beautiful woman in the world: Helen, wife of Menelaus of Sparta. Paris took Helen back to Troy.

Better! Notes should get to the point of what

you are trying to understand and

remember.

Greek Armament Menelaus was angry that Helen was taken and called upon her old suitors who had sworn to always defend her honor. Many did not wish to go to war, but supported in providing ships. A seer prophesied the only way Sparta could win was if they had Achilles fighting on their side.

How can we get to the point?

Greek Armament ???

Finding Troy Greeks invaded Herodotus beleiving Helen to be with the Teuthranians. (what other supporting detail should be added?)

Ambassadors at Priam

Odysseus and Menelaus…

The War The first 9 years…

The Trojan Horse ???
