Trojan War

The ten-year siege of Troy by the Greeks under Agamemnon to recover Helen, whom Paris took after the judgement on Ida; the Iliad tells only the wrath of Achilles in it, the Odyssey the Wooden Horse and the returns, Apollodorus's Epitome the whole from the apple of Strife to the sack. Herodotus, from Egyptian priests, denied Helen was ever in Troy.
