What events led up to the Trojan war?
The reason for the Trojan war was the abduction of Helen by the Trojan prince and son of Priam, Paris. Helen was in fact the wife of the Achaen (Greek) warlord and close friend of the Greek king Agememnon, Menelaus. But the reason for the abduction was the golden apple of discord by Eris which said that only the fairest could have it. Hera, Athena and Aphrodite fought for the apple but no one could decide who was better. then Zeus (who asked Eris to give that apple) ordered the Goddesses to go to Paris for the judgement. As even Paris could not decide he resorted to the better bribe. While the other Goddesses bribed for a better rule Aphrodite offered Helen of Sparta. But as Helen was by then the wife of Menelaus, Aphrodite helped Paris abduct her. This was the reason for the war of troy. (Excellent answer copied from a response by Suraj-Goodbrains)
