The Trojan War was a battle between the Greeks and the Trojans. It had started when three goddesses, Hera, Athena and Aphrodite, asked prince Paris of Troy who the most beautiful goddess was between the three, Paris chose Aphrodite because she said if he picked her, he could have any woman of his choice. Paris then traveled to Sparta and stayed with Menelaus and Helen the king and queen of Sparta, Helen was the most beautiful woman known to man at the time and Paris wanted her to be his, so he asked Aphrodite if she could be with him and she agreed. Helen fell under Aphrodite's spell and ran off with Paris. Menelaus was furious and when he demanded her return the Trojans refused, so Menelaus asked his brother Agamemnon to bring an army againstTroy. The war went for 10 years and ended when the Greeks defeated the city of Troy.
