Abstract
This Article explores private agreements in the myth of the Trojan War. Its purpose is twofold: (1) to use literary/mythological contracts as source material for learning about the substance of preliterate and protoliterate Greek contract law; and (2) to examine the interests these contracts protected and the values and policies they promoted. This Article focuses on two types of contracts: agreements in the Iliad that contemporary contract theory would characterize as supported by consideration and agreements that structure the myth of the Trojan War.
