The Greeks fought the Trojans (people of Troy) for Helen of Sparta. She was the most beautiful woman of her time. Paris had taken her away from her rightful husband, King Menalaus of Sparta. After ten years of war, they won. They would have lost except for Odysseus (Ulysses) who thought up the idea for the Trojan Horse.
