Your analogy to Achilles and the Trojan war is a bit silly. The whole premise of that war was that the Trojans went to Greece and abducted an important citizen.

- thaumasiotes 8y agoThat's not a great way to state the premise of the war. "The Trojans" had no intention to do anything. Paris went to Sparta, but not Phthia, and committed a crime there. How did the Trojans feel about that? > the son of Atreus strode among the throng, looking everywhere for Alexander, and no man, neither of the Trojans nor of the allies, could find him. If they had seen him they were in no mind to hide him, for they all of them hated him as they did death itself. Achilles is totally correct that, as far as he's concerned, Troy hasn't aggrieved him in any way, and would have a hard time doing it if it wanted to.
