Did the Greek Gods start the Trojan War?

Actually, we don’t know, but, when we talk about the Trojan Wars, Greek mythology says “Yes, they certainly did”.

You see in those days the Greeks felt the gods controlled the mortal world by using their magical powers to protect or punish the humans, depending those who were in their favour at the time.

This is why our sister site Educational Musicals published our musical The Trojan Horse – The Fall Of Troy, in this  story the gods lead with Zeus, the King of the Gods, joined by Hera, Zeus’ Queen and two of Zeus’ daughters, Aphrodite, the God of Love and Athena, the God of wisdom,  they all were instrumental in annoying Spite, Goddess of Strife and Discord. Then according to mythology, Spite, then puts them all under a spell.

In the musical the Greek gods drive our explanation of this well-known story, The Trojan Horse.  Of course, we have taken theatrical license to make into a musical your children will enjoy with a story they will remember.

Please click The Trojan Horse – The Fall Of Troy which will take you to two pages of script and two songs from the show, which you can then download and start rehearsing immediately.
