#8 The Trojan War was very much a war for control of the then-perceived Greek World/Universe, between mainland Greeks vs. "Mongrelized/Asianized" Greeks + Allies in Asia Minor. By stealing the
"Helen" = Elene/Eleni symbol, TROY was basically unilaterally claiming by force the singular leadership of all the Greek World without heed of consent by the other major Greek City-States. By building the TROJAN HORSE, Odyseus = mainland Greeks basically wanted the Trojans to believe that mainland Greece would now acccept bastard Troy as Leader of the Greek World, i.e. TO ACCEPT NON-GREEK CONTROL + INFLUENCES ON THEIR SOCIETIES, INCLUDING THOSE UNILATERALLY AND NON-CONSENSUALLY IMPOSED BY FORCE.
