The Trojan War was a war between the Greeks (Achaeans) and the city of Troy. This all happened after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband, the king of Sparta Menelaus. The Trojan War is one of the most important events in Greek mythology and has been told in many works of Greek literature, the most notable being Homer's Illiad.
The Illiad goes through four days and two nights in the tenth year of the decade-long siege of Troy; the Odyssey tells the story of the trip home for Odysseus. Other parts of the war are told in several other epic poems.
