<<... we will never be able to determine why [the Trojan War] took place, or what the motivations of the principals were >>

I suspect you are right, but there may be so great a consensus on the cause that it is impossible to tamper with it. I learned great lessons for my life from the stories of the Trojan War which my father told me as a child. I have never served as a judge in a beauty contest, particularly where goddesses are involved. I have never stolen captive maidens from my subordinates. I have never absconded with the wife of a king. Now the underlying stories may be thoroughly false, but I can recommend these lessons to every one. They represent ultimate truths to me.
