According to the epic tradition of ancient Greek religion, Gaia's protest about the uncontrolled growth of the human population is the cause of war. With the weight of its load, the goddess expresses her complaints to Zeus.
The father of the gods, noting the need to reduce the number of humans on earth, caused war. The Trojan War, like other bloody conflicts over a long period, is, according to Hesiod, the reason why the generation of heroes is exterminated.
