The Legend of Troy

The legendary Troy was a mighty city ruled by King Priam. His son, Paris held a beauty contest between three goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. He let Aphrodite win as she promised to find him a beautiful wife in the world. After the contest, Paris visited the King of Sparta and fell in love with his wife, Helen, who was known as the most beautiful woman in this world. Paris took Helen back to Troy and the King of Sparta was very angry. The Greeks were very angry too and they fought a war with the Trojans for 10 years. However, they were unsuccessful as a high stone wall protected Troy.

The Greeks were very furious by their defeat and came out with a plan. They left a wooden horse outside the walls of Troy and pretended to sail away in their ships. When night fell, the Trojans were very curious about the wooden horse and pulled it into Troy. That night, the Greek army hidden in the horse crept out and opened up the gates of Troy, allowing the rest of the Greek army into Troy. They killed Paris and every single Trojan and Helen was returned to King of Sparta.
