Long, long ago, in the land of Greece, there was an extremely beautiful woman named Helen. Helen was a rare beauty in the world, and her beauty was like the brightest star in the night sky, attracting everyone's attention. She lived in the Kingdom of Sparta and was the wife of King Menelaus.
One day, Paris, the prince of Troy, came to Sparta. Paris was a handsome and dashing young man. The moment he saw Helen, he was captivated by her beauty, and Helen was also attracted by Paris' charm. They forgot their identities and responsibilities and fell deeply in love.

Paris, regardless of the potentially serious consequences, persuaded Helen to go back to Troy with him. Blinded by love, Helen willfully abandoned her husband, her family, and the entire Kingdom of Sparta, and secretly left with Paris.
When King Menelaus of Sparta discovered that Helen was missing and learned that she had been taken away by Paris, he was extremely angry. He felt that this was a great insult to him, so he decided to wage war on Troy. He summoned the warriors from all the city - states in Greece and formed a huge army, marching towards Troy.
