It is said that the reason for this was that Aphrodite appeared to Paris and promised to give him the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris went to Sparta and managed to win Helen's heart, and they eloped together.
_As a result, Menelaus and his brother, Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, set sail for Troy with a fleet of more than 1,000 ships to bring back Helen. The Trojan War began when they laid siege to the city of Troy for ten years. The war ended when the Greeks won the war with the Trojan Horse ruse, which allowed the Greeks to enter Troy and sack the city._
