The story of the Trojan War in a nutshell??download



Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite asked Paris of Troy to judge a beauty contest and each offered him a bribe. He chose the one who offered him the most beautiful woman in the world as his wife. Helen was the prize. Helen was married to King Menelaus, who was distressed that she moved to Troy to marry Paris. This offended a lot of Greeks, so they went to Troy and laid siege to the city for ten long years.



Finally, the Greeks built a giant horse and hid 100 soldiers inside, and sailed away. The Trojans thought the horse was an offering to the gods, so they brought it inside Troy in order to get the benefits of honoring the gods with the horse. That night, while the Trojans slept, the guys inside came out and opened the city gates, and the rest sailed back and wrecked the city.
Three goddesses compete for a golden apple addressed ''to the fairest.''
