In Greek mythology, Helen of Troy (also known as Helen of Sparta) was the most beautiful woman in the world. She was the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Leda, the queen of Sparta. Helen was married to Menelaus, the king of Sparta, but she was abducted by Paris, the prince of Troy. This event triggered the Trojan War, which lasted for ten years and resulted in the destruction of Troy.
How did Helen start the Trojan war?
When Paris abducted Helen, Menelaus was furious. He asked his brother Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, to help him get Helen back. Agamemnon agreed, and he organized a large army of Greek warriors to sail to Troy and attack the city. The Trojan War lasted for ten years, and many people were killed on both sides. Finally, the Greeks were able to defeat the Trojans and destroy Troy. Helen was returned to Menelaus, and she lived with him happily ever after.
