On Mount Olympus, a decadent wedding feast was held and all the gods were invited. Unfortunately, the goddess of discord, Eris, was mistakenly left off the guest list.

She appeared at the party and rolled a golden apple amongst the party guests. Upon the golden apple was written, “To The Fairest.”
"To the Fairest"
Hermes, appoint an impartial judge
I choose Paris, who was the son of Priam, the king of Troy.

I shall grant you the most beautiful woman in world as your wife!
I can make you ruler of the world!
I offer victory in war!

Paris visited the palace of Menelaus at Sparta. Going against all the sacred rules of hospitality, Paris seduced the queen and abducted (stole) her back to Troy.
The Greeks traveled to Troy and for nearly ten years, the Greeks unsuccessfully besieged Troy in the Trojan War. Finally, the Greek warrior, Odysseus, had the idea to build a large wooden horse, known as the Trojan Horse.
That night the Trojans took the Horse into their city and the warriors crept out and threw open the city’s gates. The Greeks entered, sacked the city and claimed a victorious end to the great Trojan War.
The Trojan War has ended, and we're victorious!
