subjoined attests. Onias received the envoy with honor, and
accepted the letter, in which a clear reference was made to
friendship and alliance. For our part, though we have no need of
these, having the consolation of the holy books in our possession.
We venture to send, to renew our fraternal friendship with you, so
that we may not become strangers to you, for a long time has
elapsed since you sent us the letter. We may say that constantly
on every occasion, at our festivals and on other appointed days,
we make a remembrance of you in the sacrifices we offer and in
our prayers, as it is right and fitting to remember brothers.
Homer’s Illiad described the founder of Troy as named Dardanus,
the son of Zeus. Dardanus’ grandson Tros, was the namesake of the
ancient Trojans and of their capital city, Troy. Tros had three sons: Ilus,
Ganymede and Assaracus. Priam was the ruler of Troy at the time of its
destruction. He was of the line of Ilus.
The Spartans lived in Laconia, near Arcadia, in the southern
Greek peninsula called Peloponnesus. Over the centuries, some of the
group migrated northeast across the Aegean Sea to build the ancient city
of Troy at Troad, or Troas, in Anatolia. The Greek name for these
Pelasgian speaking Trojans was Pelasgoi. As they came from Hittite
Wilusha (Ilios), they were also the Wiliosioi or Weshesh.
The Greeks believed the first man on earth was Pelasgus, ancestor
of the Pelasgians, who sprang from Boreas’ teeth in the soil of Arcadia. 675
Boreas, as the North Wind, represented the primeval fertility, the
spirit that fertilizes women, animals and plants. 676 Even until Roman
times, educated men believed mares could turn their hindquarters to the
North Wind and breed foals without the aid of a stallion. 677 The North
Wind Boreas subsequently became the serpent of Israelite and Egyptian
myth, constantly consorting with the Mother Goddess. 678
The despairing Trojan War began when Paris, a Trojan prince,
fell in love with Helen who was the daughter of Zeus and Nemesis. 679
Paris abducted Helen from her husband, the Spartan king. The
Mycenaean Greek Spartans waged war on the Trojans for a decade.
Finally, as legend records, the Spartans successfully employed the ruse of
the Trojan Horse. They rescued Helen, killed many of the Trojans and set
fire to the city.
In reality, the Trojan War was the final contest for control of the
mercantile trade routes, which began with the fall of Knossos in about
1400BCE. 680 The Trojan Confederacy blocked Mycenaean access to the
