Who was to blame for the Trojan War? The Greeks, the Trojans, the gods or a specific individual? Your answer should be 5-10 sentences
The Trojan war was started when a Prince of Troy, named Paris took Helen from her husband Menelaus the king of Sparta. There's a lot more to it than that but that would take up too much space. Basically the king of Sparta then got angry and wanted his wife back, naturally, so he gathered all the Greek Kings and declared war on the Trojans
just tell me if you want the really long version too
would like a long one please!
the three goddesses Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite were having an argument over who was the fairest of them all and who would get the "golden apple" (that's and entirely different story). So they went to Zeus and asked him to pick who was the fairest but since he didn't want to pick favorites he told them to go find Paris the prince of Troy to judge them since he was a good man. The three goddesses found him but instead of being fair each one bribed him with something. He liked Aphrodite's offer the best all, it being the most beautiful woman in the world would love him (that being Helen). Helen fell in love with Paris when he and his brother Hector went to a feast. Paris and Helen then ran away to Troy leaving behind Helen's husband the king of Sparta, Menelaus. Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and the brother of Helen's husband Menelaus, led an expedition of Achaean troops to Troy and besieged the city for ten years because of Paris.Eventually Troy fell.
