Well it started when the goddesses Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera had a beauty contest. They chose Paris of Troy to decide by giving the winner a golden apple. But they all bribed him. Athena offered wisdom, and Hera offered all of Asia. But Paris chose Aphrodite who gave Helen, the most beautiful women in the world. But Helen was the king's wife. She magically fell in love with Paris and secretly left with Trojans to marry him. The king thought that Paris kidnapped her, and declared war on Troy. I guess you know what happened next.
