Why did the Trojan war really start?
There were a couple of reasons. A simple one is that the Greeks of the time, the 13th-11th century BC Mycenaeans, were a people with war as a central part of their culture. A more politically complex reason does involve Helen of Sparta. Helen was the daughter of the king of Sparta. She may have been as beautiful as the myths claim, but truthfully it doesn't really matter. Whoever married her would inherit the throne of Sparta and become king. The man chosen to be her husband would only be king of Sparta as long as he was married to Helen. Menelaus, the brother of King Agamemnon of Mycenae, ended up marrying Helen and earning the throne. When Paris and Helen eloped, Menelaus knew he would lose the throne to Sparta. Getting support from his brother Agamemnon, who as ruler of Mycenae was interested in keeping Sparta under his control through Menelaus, Menelaus gathered allies and struck out against the Trojans.
