It took place under the walls of Troy but also in neighbouring cities allied with it. The main cause of the war was the abduction of Helen, the wife of the king of Sparta, Menelaus, by the prince of Troy, Paris. This war is one of the main events of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe causes of the war can be traced back to the divine dispute between Athena, Hera and Aphrodite, which was provoked by Eris by giving them a golden apple with the inscription to the most beautiful (the most beautiful). Zeus, wanting to settle the dispute about who deserved the apple, referred them to the Trojan prince Paris, who chose Aphrodite. As a reward for his judgment, Aphrodite rewarded him by making Helen, the most beautiful mortal woman, fall in love with him and follow him to Troy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImmediately after its capture, Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and brother of Helen's husband Menelaus, led a general Achaean campaign and besieged Troy for ten years. After the death of many heroes, such as Achilles and Aedas of Telamonius as well as the Trojans, Hector and Pari, the city was defeated thanks to the trick of the Trojan Horse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roundabout Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49534418419940,"sku":"RA-0011053_C","price":650.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/9528\/7908\/files\/wide_lidded_trojan_1a.jpg?v=1761695096","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutantiques.com.au\/products\/superb-greek-replica-lidded-pot-455bc-by-sakis-depicts-trojan-war-1","provider":"Roundabout Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
