Paris journeyed to Sparta to retrieve Helen, the wife of Menelaus, as part of a promise made by the goddess Aphrodite. After being awarded Helen as the most beautiful woman in the world during the Judgment of Paris, he sought her hand, which ultimately led to the abduction of Helen and sparked the Trojan War. His actions were driven by both desire and divine influence, marking a significant turning point in Greek mythology.
