Reason for the War: it can be said that the Trojan War started after the elopement (or abduction) of the queen of Sparta, Helen by Paris, the Trojan prince. The jilted husband of Helen, Menelaus, persuaded his brother, Agamemnon, to lead a voyage to find her. Other Greek heroes, such as Ajax, Nestor, Odysseus, and Achilles, joined Agamemnon, along with a fleet of over a thousand ships from all over the Hellenic world. This group crossed the Aegean Sea to Asia Minor to lay siege to Troy and demand Helen’s return by the Trojan king, Priam.
Major Parties Involved: the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans (Greeks) after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta.
The Trojan Horse Explained: Sinon tells the Trojans that the Horse is an offering to the goddess Athena, meant to atone for the previous desecration of her temple at Troy by the Greeks and ensure a safe journey home for the Greek fleet. however Greek soldiers were able to take the city of Troy after a fruitless ten-year siege by hiding in a giant horse supposedly left as an offering to the goddess Athena.
Outcome of the War: The Greeks won the Trojan War. According to the Roman epic poet Virgil, the Trojans were defeated after the Greeks left behind a large wooden horse and pretended to sail for home.
