The problem was that Helen was already married to Menelaus, king of Sparta. When Menelaus found out he was very angry. He then asked his brother, Agamemnon, to help get Helen back from Troy. After all this, the war began. Throughout the journey, the gods did their justice. The war raged on and lasted for over 10 years.
