The Trojan War

The Trojan War is one of the most important events in Greek mythology, a cornerstone of epic poetry. It began with the abduction of Helen, queen of Sparta, by the Trojan prince Paris. The Achaean forces, led by King Agamemnon, laid siege to Troy for ten years. The war is famed for its heroes, including Achilles, Hector, and Odysseus, and its dramatic conclusion with the ruse of the Trojan Horse, leading to the city's fall.
