The origin of every nation is inseparable from myths and heroes. These romantic and ancient legends shaped the spirit of a nation in antiquity and today provide historians with clues to trace their footsteps. The myths of the Romans began with bloodshed, which may be the source of their martial spirit. According to the Iliad by Homer: In 1184 BC, the Greek coalition led by Agamemnon used the Trojan Horse strategy to finally conquer the city of Troy in Asia Minor. According to the customs of the time, the victors razed the once prosperous city to the ground, and the Trojans suffered brutal massacres.
