How:
Trojan War has roots in marriage between Peleus & Thetis. Eris, the goddess of discord, was outraged at them for not inviting her there. She stormed in the wedding. When she entered she threw a shining golden apple on the table. She said to them, "Who ever has the apple will be fairest". Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite were there at the wedding, they all reached for the apple. Zeus said that Paris, Prince of Troy to be the most beautiful man alive, would act as the judge. Hermes went to meet Pairis to ask him to be the judge, Paris agreed to act as the judge. Hera promised Paris power in exchange for the golden apple. Athena promised wealth for the glorious golden apple. Finally Aphrodite promised the most beautiful woman in the whole, wide, world. Paris chose Aphrodite, she promised that Helen, wife of Menelaus, would be his wife. Paris prepared to set off for Sparta to capture Helen. Twin prophets Cassandra, and helenus tried to stop him from abducting Helen. His mother even tried to stop him but he just pushed her aside. Once he reached Sparta. Menelaus treated Paris as a royal guest, however, when he left Sparta to go to a funeral, Paris made his move and abducted Helen and also carried most of Menelaus' wealth. In Troy, Helen and Paris got married. When Menelaus heard this news he immediately told his troupes to destroy Troy. Some did not wish to do so for their loyalty to Helen was too strong. Some wished to accomplish the mission which Menelaus appointed them. Menelaus also told one king to go to war with Troy. This king told troupes from Greece to Attack. They destroyed Troy's economy, like their feilds, crops, and even burnt some houses they did many horrible things to the Trojan people. _
