Paris and Helen As Prince, Paris was sent to Sparta as an emissary There he met Helen and when Menelaus was away, the two ran off to Troy with much of the kingdom’s wealth Paris and Helen were not well received by King Priam, but the people of Troy soon fell in love with Helen Menelaus vowed to find them and bring Helen back home to Sparta

Menelaus Menelaus went to Troy to bring back Helen and his treasure, but he is turned away Menelaus called on his brother, King Agamemnon for help As the High King, Agamemnon called upon all the kingdoms of Greece to help get Helen back

Achilles’ Death Achilles fought furiously against the Trojans Paris, hidden behind the lines of Trojan soldiers, fired an arrow at Achilles The arrow hit the great warrior in his only vulnerable spot
