Trojan War

The cause of the Trojan War can be blamed on the courtship of a beautiful woman named Helen. Her step

father made all the men who wanted to marry Helen take an oath to protect her and her husband, King Menelaus

of Sparta. When Paris abducted Helen to Troy, the Greek princes were shipped over to Troy to recover Helen.

They fought and soon broke out into a war that lasted 10 years. Many clever tactics were created, such as the

Trojan Horse. Most of the princes never returned.
