When Troy fell, Aeneas was fighting desperately on the city walls against the enemy, but when he saw the blazing flames rising within the city, he could only choose to flee. Aeneas carried his elderly father Caius on his shoulders, holding the hand of his young son Ascanius, and hurriedly left. The child clung close to his father, constantly jumping over the bodies scattered in the streets. Behind them, the blazing Troy was sinking into darkness. The ten-year Trojan War, dominated by the gods, ultimately brought destruction, darkness, and disaster, with the devastation and injustice of war vividly portrayed. The Trojan War, real and illusory, is the most spectacular chapter in ancient Greek heroic legends and can be considered the longest-lasting legendary page in the history of world warfare. This decade-long war left behind not only the burned city of Troy and countless souls, but more importantly, a series of immortal heroes: Achilles, Hector, Agamemnon, Odysseus. Their experiences are captivating, and their spirits are stirring. The Trojan Horse plan that ended the Trojan War has even been written into modern military strategy analyses, intensifying the legendary allure of the Trojan War. Meanwhile, the inclinations and actions of the Olympian gods in mythology directly influenced the course and outcome of the war. In this sense, the Trojan War was more like a carnival of the gods.
