What Gods Were Responsible for the Trojan War?

In order to understand the Trojan War, it is important to understand its mythological underpinnings. What Greek gods and goddesses played a role in starting and maintaining the war?

Choose any two of the following Gods and find a picture on the internet of each. Then do the research necessary to explain to us who they are and what aspects they rule over or represent. Your work will be saved to a flash drive and then the class will jointly create a PowerPoint presentation on the Greek pantheon.

Each god should be represented by one slide. The slide should have a picture of the god, a label with the god's name and what they rule over, and your name.
