The Trojan war began when Helen eloped with Paris. Helen was the wife of Menelaus; king of Mycenae (Sparta) and Paris was the son of Priam, King of Troy. The couple escaped back to Troy; and Menelaus called upon the rest of the Greek states to support his effort to get Helen back. When the Trojans refused to give Helen back to Menelaus the Greeks attacked the city; and after a long siege Troy was destroyed.
