Returns from Troy
The Returns from Troy are the stories of how the Greek leaders returned after their victory in the Trojan War. Many Achaean heroes did not return to their homes, but died or founded colonies outside the Greek mainland. The most famous returns are those of Odysseus, whose wanderings are narrated in the ''Odyssey'', and Agamemnon, whose murder at the hands of his wife Clytemnestra was portrayed in Greek tragedy.
==The sack of Troy==
The Achaeans entered the city using the Trojan Horse and slew the slumbering population. Priam and his surviving sons and grandsons were killed, Glaucus, son of Antenor who had earlier offered hospitality to the Achaean embassy that asked the return of Helen and had advocated so〔Homer Iliad Γ.347-353〕 was spared, along with his family by Menelaus and Odysseus. Aeneas took his father on his back and fled. He was left alone because of his piety.〔Apollodorus Epitome 5.21〕 The city was razed and the temples were destroyed.
Of the women of the royal family, Locrian Ajax violated Cassandra on Athena's altar while she was clinging to her statue, which since looks upward.〔Proclus Chrestomathy 2, The Sack of Ilium; Apollodorus Epitome 5.22〕 She was awarded to Agamemnon. Neoptolemus got Andromache, wife of Hector and Odysseus took Priam's widow Hecuba (known in Greek as Hecabe).〔Apollodorus Epitome 5.23〕 The ghost of Achilles appeared before the survivors of the war, demanding that the Trojan princess Polyxena be sacrificed before anybody could leave, as either part of his spoil or because she had betrayed him. Neoptolemus did so.〔Euripedes, Hecabe 109〕〔Quintus Smyrnaeus, Posthomerica xiv.210-328〕
