If you see the movie troy you will get an idea, but it is mainly that a Trojan prince, Paris, took the queen of Sparta, Helen. This irrupted the most greatest war of the Greeks, as said by Homer. The King of Sparta wanted his wife back and united with his brother, Agamemnon and took the largest fleet the world had ever seen to get Helen back and to take the walls of toy down. There are many heroes in this story, like Odysseus, king of Ithaca, Achilles son of Peleus, Hector, prince of Troy and Heir to throne. There are others. The Capture of troy was when Odysseus came up with the idea of a giant horse where they said it was the gift to the Greek goddess, Athena and as far as the Trojans could see they could not see any Greeks. The Trojans brought the horse inside the gates of their city and they celebrated their false victory. At night fall the Greeks came out of the horse and slayed the drunken Trojan people and opened the gates of troy to the remaining Greeks to enter the city. The Royal Family was slayed and the City of troy burned.
