The Greek Myth





The Greek Myth I am studying is called Trojan War 
Helen of Troy, born in Sparta believe to be the daughter of Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods, and a mortal woman named Leda, She's either the daughter of Leda or by Nemesis, and sister of the Dioscuri.
She was the most beautiful woman who has ever lived and the indirect cause of Trojan War. Her reputation was so great that even as a young child. She was abducted by Theseus. He kidnapped her and hid her in his city of Athens, but she was rescued by her brothers. 

Helen's suitors including Odysseus came from all part of Greece, and from among them she chose Menelaus, Agamemnon's younger brother. During an absence of Menelaus, however, Helen fled to Troy with Paris, son of the Trojan King Priam, an act, that ultimately led to the Trojan War. When Paris was slain, Helen was forced to marry Deiphobus, one of Paris' brothers. whom she betrayed to Menelaus once Troy was captured. Menelaus and Helen then returned to Sparta, where they lived happily until their deaths.
