Best Answer

You could say yes. When the goddesses Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera fought over the Apple of Discord, the prince of Troy, Paris, was called to see who was the fairest. When Paris chose Aphrodite, Aphrodite gave him the married Helen, Queen of Sparta, to him as Paris' wife. When Helen's husband Menalaus found out, he was enraged and called the other city-states to aid him and fight the Trojan War. Thus the Trojan War began. After all those years Helen returned with Menalaus back to Sparta after the Greeks' victory.
