In Greek legend, the Trojan War began when Paris, prince of Troy, stole away helen, wife of King Menelaus of Sparta. In Greek history, well, the Trojan war antedates written history, so the legend is our only guide. certainly there was a war; certainly Troy was destroyed. but for a woman? real life is rarely so romantic. The fact is almost certainly that Troy was positioned where its forces could restrict access for traders to the Black sea, and the Greeks wanted that access.
