The Trojan War started as a judgment to see who was the most beautiful goddess. There were three of the goddesses, named Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena. No man was bold enough to make such a tough choice, as they were all beautiful. Eventually, the gods had to choose a man to judge between the three women, so he chose a man named Paris to do the judging. Each of the 3 women offered Paris something if he chose them; Athena offered wisdom in all battles, Hera offered all of Asia, and Aphrodite offered a true love. After a very difficult decision, Paris chose Aphrodite. After being selected Aphrodite had to find him a true love. She decided to kidnap Helen, who was the wife of the Greek King Menalaus, to be his love. When discovering that his wife had been kidnapped, Menelaus became outraged and declared war against the Trojans, hence the start of the Trojan War.

Hope this helps! I tried to be detailed but not make the summary too long.
