Tactics of the Iliad
Samuel Martin
The Art of “Trojan” War
The city was
surrounded by
high walls and
possessed only
one gate. It was
a fortress unlike
any other in its
day. Nearly
impregnable.
The City of Troy
The
Greeks(green)
come ashore and
the
defenders(red)
sally forth to
meet them.
Greeks Landing
Hector pulls
back his troops
knowing the
numerically
superior Greeks
would soon
overwhelm his
small army. The
Greeks establish
a perimeter and
begin the siege.
The Siege Begins
The Greeks Are
hit by a Plague
that decimates
their numbers.
They fall back
and try to
determine if they
are to stay or
leave.
Greek Losses
The Trojans
counter attack,
pressing their
advantage.
Achilles does not
partake in the
battle.
Counter Attack
The duel
between
Achilles and
Hector. Hector is
killed and his
body paraded
around the
settlement.
The Challenge
The Greeks
realize they
cannot win
conventionally
and pull back to
devise a new
strategy.
Stalemate
The “Trojan
Horse” is built
and the Greeks
hide, awaiting
the signal to
attack.
The Trap
The Gates are
opened by the
Hellenic
commandos and
the Greek armies
pour in. The city
is pillaged and
its people
slaughtered
Victory
