Homer's account of the Trojan War, primarily found in the "Iliad," attributes the conflict to a combination of divine intervention and human folly. The war is sparked by the judgment of Paris, a Trojan prince who is asked to choose the fairest goddess among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. He chooses Aphrodite, who promises him the love of Helen, the most beautiful woman, already married to Menelaus, king of Sparta. This act of betrayal and the subsequent abduction of Helen lead to a coalition of Greek forces launching an expedition against Troy to reclaim her, igniting the decade-long war.
