Troy a state of mind

[JohnCFremont]

Did Homer the Philosopher when he came up with the story the Illiad think of how humanity works or just how to make a famous work. For the story of how the prince of Troy lusted after Helen and then with a secret romance they escaped to troy. This shows that everyone always wants something that is almost completley impossible to get. THen how others such as the Husband of Helen and ruler of troy loses something and goes into a blind rage against Troy. This shows the jealosy and rage that one experiences when they lose something.Then at the climax of the war a wooden horse is dragged to the wall and troy is lulled into a false sense of security and destroyed. THis shows humanity's weakness for kindness and how we could be destroyed by it.
