They were never a united nation, they never owed allegiance to a monolithic imperial state like Assyria, Egypt, or Persia. They would not bow their knees to a god-king. They lived in tightly knit separate communities, divided by mountain ranges, yet all were Hellenes, distinguished from the barbaroi--the barbarians who did not speak Greek.

In the end, nearly all our roads lead us to Troy. Agamemnon of Mycenae, Menelaus of Sparta, Diomedes of Argos, Nestor of Pylos, Achilles of Phthia, and Odysseus of Ithaca fought to capture it. Iphigenia was sacrificed to gain fair winds for Troy.
