The legend is that Helen, wife of Menelaus, king of Sparta absconded with visiting prince Paris (Alexander) of Troy, adding injury to insult by smuggling out a large part of Menelaus' portable property with her.

Menelaus appealed to his brother king Agamemnon of Argos, who gathered together a confederation of Greeks (Archaeans, Danaans) with the prospect of plundering the Asia Minor coast, including Troy.
