Well, she wasn't really kidnapped as such, you see her and Paris ran away together, because you see,
Somehow, a golden apple, fell into Paris' hands. But you see, the goddesses Anthena, Hera and Aphrodite, all wanted the apple. And so Athena offered all the wisdom in the world. Hera offered to be king of all Asia. And Aphrodite offered for the most beautiful woman on earth to be his wife. Paris took up Aphrodite's offer and gave her the apple, and Aphrodite cast a spell so that the most beautiful woman would fall head over heels in love with Paris. And this woman of course was Helen of Troy.
So that's why they ran away together and started the whole Trojan War.
