Prince Paris "kidnapped" Helen, the wife of Menelaus and took her to Troy. When Helen was married, her father, fearing the wrath of the princes that he did not marry Helen to, made every one of Helen's suitors swear to fight whoever dares to take Helen away from her husband. So when Paris took Helen to Troy, Agamemnon, Menelaus's older brother, took this chance and lead the Achaeans to fight Troy for Helen.
