Trojan War

 Trojan War 

In greek mythology the Trojan War was a war between the people of Tory and the Greek. The war was caused because Paris the Trojan Prince kidnapped Helen, the wife of Menelaus the king of Sparta. The Trojans refused Menelaus' demands of returning his wife. Menelaus persuaded his brother Agamemnon to lead an army against the Trojans. The war lasted for almost ten years with the Spartans ravaging the cities surrounding Troy. The battle came to a conclusion when the Greeks built a wooden horse with a small group of warriors concealed inside. The other Greeks returned home whilst the ones remaining inside the horse persuaded the people of Troy to take the wooden horse inside the city walls. Late at night the Greeks returned and the others came out of the horse and opened up the city gates. In the end Troy fell and the Greeks ended up wining the war.
