The Trojan War began due to a fight among the gods. Eris, the goddess of Discord, was mad at the gods because she had not been invited to the wedding of the mortal Peleus and the nymph Thetis, who later on became the parents of Achilles. Eris, enraged at the disrespect that had been shown towards her, crashed the ceremony and threw a golden apple which said "For the Fairest". 3 goddesses, Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, all claimed to be the fairest. The other gods knew better than to get involved in a quarrel of beauty between the goddesses, so Zeus looked for a mortal to do the judging. He thought Paris, a handsome young mortal, would do a good job, and sent the 3 goddesses to him. Hermes appeared before Paris, and told him to give the apple to whomever he thought was the fairest. Paris was uncertain as to which of the erotic goddesses in front of him was the most beautiful, so they each decided to offer him a gift should he choose them. Athena offered him wisdom and skill in battle, Hera promised him control over all of Asia, and Aphrodite offered him the love of the most beautiful woman in the world. Being a young, fairly dumb man, Paris had little interest in power and wisdom, and decreed Aphrodite to be the most beautiful, little did he know that his cupidity would later on cause his downfall. Aphrodite was thrilled, and kept her promise, not caring at all that the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, was married to the King of Sparta. Clearly, common sense was not her forte.

When Helen's husband, Menelaus found out, he was furious at this philistine-like gesture, which showed the Trojans had no sense of respect for the Spartan culture. Luckily for him, Helen's father had made all her suitors swear an oath that they would all help protect Helen's marriage. Helen's beauty had attracted a catholic variety of suitors from all over Europe, Asia, and Africa, which all helped win Helen back from the Trojans. The Spartan army took a very martial approach, and they had Athena and Hera on their side, as they were still seeking revenge towards Paris for choosing Aphrodite over them. Finally, after years of battle, the Spartans overpowered the Trojans through the art of deception. They built a giant horse and presented it to the Trojans as a gift that symbolized their defeat. If the Trojans had one foible, it would be their love of gifts, and the magnificent wooden horse was no exception. The Trojans were mesmerized by it, and, in a moment that lacked precarious thoughts, they took it into the city, celebrating their enemies' defeat. Then, in the dead of the night, the Spartan army crept out of their hiding place inside the wooden horse, and preformed a sneak attack on the Trojans, who were caught off guard, and ended up losing the war.
