Justification is a difficult thing to prove, depending on who you ask. From the Greek point of view, especially that of Menelaus, the war was justified because he was chosen to be Helen's husband and no one had the right to take her from him. Her removal from Sparta, by divine means or otherwise, would have been a tremendous affront to his sovereignty, not to mention his manhood. So, from his standpoint, it was just.

Do you think Priam would agree?
