The Trojan War is one of the most famous wars in history and has been recounted many times in stories and plays.
The reason behind this war was because Helen was kidnapped by Paris when she was just 14 years old and 9 years later she was still being held in Troy without ransom being paid or anything else being done about it by anyone other than Menelaus (her husband) who tried several times to get her back but failed each time until finally he gave up and went home leaving her there which made him very unpopular in Sparta as well as Greece in general which lead many people wanting to fight against Troy because they felt insulted by this whole situation so eventually all these people gathered together under Agamemnon’s leadership.
The Trojan War was a 10-year siege that took place between the Greeks and the Trojans. The Greeks were led by Agamemnon and Achilles, while the Trojans were led by Hector and Paris. The Greeks finally won when they discovered that Paris had taken Helen back to Troy with him from Sparta. After that the Greeks sailed back to Greece with Helen and destroyed Troy completely.
The war was so important that it became part of Greek mythology, with many different versions told by different people over time. The most famous version comes from Homer’s epic poem The Iliad, written around 700 B.C., which tells how Achilles killed Hector during a fierce battle outside Troy’s walls.
