Trojan War Chess Set with Walnut Board!

The Trojan War was a fierce battle in which the Greeks besieged Troy for nine years. They finally won when, pretending to depart, they left a wooden horse, which the Trojans took into the city. Warriors hidden in the horse opened the city gates to the Greek army, which sacked Troy.

According to the ancient Greek poet, Homer, the Trojan War began when Helen, the beautiful wife of Meneleus, king of Sparta, was carried off by Paris, the son of Priam, king of Troy. Helen (Helen of Troy) was the daughter of Leda and Zeus and was reputed to be the most beautiful woman mortal in the world.

Brad Pitt recently starred as Achilles, the mightiest of the Greeks, in an epic Hollywood movie titled "Troy", based entirely on this ancient story.
