Ever heard of an ancient conflict called The Trojan War? Quite a story, really. And then there's Homer's epics The Iliad and The Odyssey, telling the tale in forty-eight books and tens of thousands of lines of dactylic hexameter...all of which focus on less than one year of the decade-long conflict, and the years Odysseus spent lost at sea afterwards.Something's missing — namely, the first nine years of the war, the actual end of the war, and associated myths. Surely they weren't just floating about in the Oral Tradition until some ancient tragedians got hold of them?As it happens, they weren't. It turns out that The Iliad and the The Odyssey were not the only epics that pulled together the tales of the Trojan War. In fact, there were eight: The Cypria The Iliad The Aethiopis The Little Iliad The Sack of Ilionnote (Also known as the Sack of Troy, the Iliupersis, or the Iliou persis) The Returnsnote (Also known as the Nostoi or the Nosti) The Odyssey The TelegonyWe've lost every one of the above except for Homer's epics. Sorry.But yet we still know of them. References to and quotations from the lost epics have survived in fragments. By an incredible stroke of luck, we have a work titled the Chrestomathy by an unknown Proclus, which actually summarizes the events that take place in each epic.Thanks to these sources, we know that the epics covered everything from the marriage of Peleus and Thetis to Odysseus's death.Note that there are additional stories that cover events connected to or following from the Cycle's, such as The Oresteia, which follows the events of the Returns, and The Aeneid, which follows the surviving Trojans' escape. However, because they were written a long time after the original set and within different periods of ancient literature, they are not considered part of the Trojan Cycle proper.

Womanliness as Pathos
 The Trojan Cycle / int_1b39f70c
comment
Womanliness as Pathos: The Trojan War. The whole thing was started by Eris, the goddess of discord, tossing a golden apple into Olympus "for the fairest". As a result, the goddesses fight over it, resulting in Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena choosing Paris as the 'judge'. Aphrodite bribing Paris with Helen of Sparta, the World's Most Beautiful Woman and the famous 'face that launched a thousand ships', is what gets the war going. This causes the men around Helen, including her husband King Menelaus, to start and sustain a conflict that lasts over a decade while Helen herself remains relatively passive in Troy.

The Siege: Naturally, though instead of the outright good guys holding out, the Trojans are really just characters that are under siege, along with the Achaeans who are besieging them. Also, the siege wasn't really a successful implementation of a siege as Non-Indicative Name can explain.

Non-Indicative Name: The Siege of Troy is known as having happened for ten years...but technically, it wasn't actually a siege, as a siege is a military operation where forces completely surround an area to cut off its occupants from supplies while as per the text, Troy continuously received reinforcements and communicated with allies throughout the so-called siege.

comment
Plunder: As is the way of most Homeric heroes, Telegonus happily engages in piracy and raiding when he's not actively pursuing his main quest. This doesn't end well — after being stranded on what later turns out to be Ithaca, he starts stealing the local cattle and ends up in a battle to the death with his own father as a result.

Silly Reason for War
 The Trojan Cycle / int_366dfa01
comment
Silly Reason for War: A city was fought over for ten years...because of a jilted husband. That being said, this has a lot of factors to it rather than just being played straight. The Achaean rulers had their hands tied to persecute the war because they all swore to defend Menelaus' marriage. On the Trojans' end, they may have kept Helen despite the threat of war due to the fact that she could give them a claim over Sparta since she was the princess of Sparta - correspondingly, avoiding a Succession Crisis would also explain Menelaus' determination in getting Helen back. As well, Paris stealing away Helen while he was a guest of Menelaus was a breach in Sacred Hospitality, some majorly Serious Business to the Achaeans that was a domain of Zeus himself...And if nothing else, any silliness on its combatants' part for fighting this war can be explained away by the war being ordained by Zeus anyway.

Honor Before Reason
 The Trojan Cycle / int_44fc28e8
comment
Honor Before Reason: Possibly the entire reason the story happened - the Achaean rulers were former suitors of Helen that all swore an oath to defend the marriage of Helen and her chosen husband, and Paris making off with her definitely qualified under that. That being said, there may have been a far more pragmatic reason for the war occurring as Menelaus became king of Sparta through marrying Helen, who was the princess of Sparta. Therefore without Helen, Menelaus would have no claim to the Spartan throne while the Trojans would, making for a Succession Crisis waiting to happen. This view is reinforced by the fact that in some versions, Helen marries Paris' brother Deiphobus after Paris' death. This makes no sense in the context of a romance but indicates that the Trojans are staking a claim to Sparta.

You Can't Fight Fate
 The Trojan Cycle / int_7241785e
comment
You Can't Fight Fate: Odysseus was fated to die a mild death from the sea. Telegonus sails in and kills him with a sting ray spear. It's not exactly mild, though. The prophecy in question could just as easily be translated as away from the sea. It also says he will die at an old age, surrounded by a prosperous people, which can't really be said about dying from a stingray spear on the beach. This, along with all the other contradictory details, has led quite a few scholars (both ancient and modern) to see the Telegony as a case of Adaptation Decay.

Self-Made Orphan: Accidentally. Neither Telegonus nor Odysseus has ever laid eyes on the other, Odysseus doesn't know that he has a second son, and Telegonus winds up on Ithaca when his ship is wrecked on its shores and is not initially aware of where he is. As a result, their initial encounter quickly becomes a battle, and they only realize who the other is when Odysseus is dying on the ground.

Rape, Pillage, and Burn
 The Trojan Cycle / int_ba6cf869
comment
Rape, Pillage, and Burn: Once Troy is breached and its defenders overpowered, the Achaean army rampages through the city, slaughtering its people, stealing everything of worth, seizing its women as slaves, and setting fire to everything that can burn. The only thing that they show any hesitancy towards harming are the temples of the gods, as they gives serious thought to stoning Ajax the Lesser to death when he damages Athena's alter while wrestling Cassandra away from it. The Achaeans' conduct during the sack is so debauched and feckless of the gods, only two kings' troops got to sail home unimpeded — the rest all managed to severely offend some god or another, who promptly makes their return treacherous.
