Best Answer

Paris of Troy was deeply in love with Helen of Sparta, who was said to be the most beautiful woman in the world. So he kidnapped her and sailed back to Troy. This angered Helen's husband, King Menelaus, so he gathered up Greek forces from many city-states and sailed after Paris to Troy. Great battles ensued, thus starting the Trojan War.
