The Trojan War

    A Greek king once had a beautiful wife  (call). Helen. One day, a prince from Troy, called Paris, stole Helen away and brought her to Troy with him.

    The Greeks sent  (thousand) of ships to attack Troy. Troy, however, was powerful and well protected. The war lasted  many years. The Greeks had a soldier called Achilles(阿喀琉斯). He was the greatest  (fight) in the world. When he was born, his mother put him in a magic river. Every part of his body that touched the water became immortal(不朽的). But she had to hold his heel(脚后跟), so that part became his great weakness.

    Achilles killed many  (enemy) He was strong and cruel. He killed the greatest prince Troy, called Hector. He then dragged(拖) Hector' s body around the city to mock(嘲笑)the Trojan people.

    The Greeks had still not won, though. They made a plan. They decided  (give) a gift to the city of Troy: a giant wooden horse.

    Late one evening, the Greeks pushed the wooden horse to the gates of Troy. The Trojans seeing the gift, thought the Greeks had given up  (happy), they received the gift.

    That night, they celebrated and drank wine But as they slept, the horse was opened up and ropes(绳子) came down. It was a trick— the horse was filled  Greek soldiers. They opened the gates,  (burn) the city and killed most of the Trojans as they slept.

    The Greeks won the war. Achilles, though was hit by  arrow (箭)in the final battle. It hit his heel, the only weak part of his body, and he died.

    The story of the fall of Troy is one of the oldest stories in history. It dates back to around 800 BC, to a poem written by a man called Homer. The poem is called The Iliad(《伊利亚待》). Ilium is the Greek name for Troy.

The story is a myth(神话), but many believe the city of Troy actually existed. Some people have thought it was in modern Turkey. Others have suggested it may have been in central Europe, northern Europe or even England.

    You could write a long book on all the paintings, music and stories about Achilles. His name is used for many things. Since 1744, about nine Royal Navy warships have been named after him, for example.

    A Trojan horse is a saying that now means something that seems friendly, but is actually a trick to hurt you. Some kinds of computer virus (病毒) are now called Trojans. An Achilles heel means a person's main weakness. The Achilles tendon(腱) is a medical name for part of your heel at the back
