Cause of Trojan War Salmon Fights Her Way Told in Homer's Iliad to the Spawning Beds According to Homer's Iliad, the Tro Jan war was an expedition against the 'ty of Troy, engaged In by the combined prince? of Greece, led by Agamemnon, king of Mycenae. Paris the son of Priam, king 0f Troy. havlns awarded the prize for superior beautv to Venus In preference to Juno and Minerva, was promised by that goddess the most beautiful woman of the age tor hia wife. Soon after this he visited Menelans, king of Sparta, and was received with great respect, but abused the hospitality shown him by inducing Helen, the wife of his host.! to elope with him to Troy. The Ore-' clan princes resolved to avenge this outrage, and sailed for Troy with an army of 100,(X)0 men. conveyed thither In 1.200 oien vessels. After a siege of ten years, the city was taken by stratagem, plundered and then burned (11S4 B. C). The aged king Priam was slain, and his family was led Into captivity. Among the famous princes that distinguished themselves in the Trojan war may he named Achilles. AJax. Menelaus. Ulysses. Nestor and Dlomedes The Trojans were commanded by Hector, the son of Priam, and assisted by Paris. Deiphobus.
