Abstract :

Greece has had a turbulent history; sometimes at the hight of power and sometimes at weakest levels. Troy War is one of the Greek historical events that many chronicle writers and archeologists have studied. Even the Troy war was the reason that Homer composed Iliad and Odyssey; the works influenced Greek classic literature. Some believe the Troy war is not more than a fiction, but chronicle writers like Herodot and Tocidid consider it as real. Also the great archeologist Sheliman did lots of research in 1876 and concluded that Troy war did happen in fact. The Troy war occured between Greece and Troy and Homer considered the reason of the war to be the fact that Paris kidnapped Helen. Some believe this reason is not convincing enough to cause a 10-year war; thus in this study we try to delve into the reasons of the Troy war and analyze its political and economical outcomes. According to Will Dorant economic and political reasons are the main reasons of the war. In the war, not only the atheletes but also the gods played roles, and even each one defended one side of the war and moved the war onwards.
