epic, I have leaned the real reason behind the war. The Trojan war was simply started over a beauty contest between three Goddesses. The three goddesses were Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera, and the winner would receive a golden apple that was inscribed "to the fairest". The judge of this contest was Paris, prince of Troy, a young and naïve mortal. The goddesses bribed Paris in order to win, but Aphrodite offered the most appealing bribe of all. She promised him the marriage of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, who was also the wife of King Menelaus of Greece. Paris took Helen from Menelaus, which outraged Greece, starting the Trojan war. Also through out the past weeks I have come to relies how useful blogs can be when it comes to sharing information between my peers.
