Homer's Iliad:
Beautiful Princess of Sparta, Helen, marries Menelaüs. Prince Paris of Troy abducts Helen, gold, and many riches. Menelaüs rallies all the princes of Greece to get back Hellen. For 9 years they tried to get into Troy to no avail. Part of the army stays part leaves to conquer other places.
Took a city and Agamemnon took the daughter of a priest of Apollo. Apollo hears his prayers and comes down from Olympus laying waste to Agamemnon and his men for 9 days. To qualm Apollo's rage, they wish to return the girl. Agamemnon angers Achillies who draws his sword but is stopped by the goddess Athena. Agamemnon ordered men to take Briseis when they took her Achillies wept and his mother Thetis, the daughter of the sea rose from the ocean to console him. He begged her to convince Zeus to bring victory to the Trojans against the greeks to get back at Agamemnon
Thetis convinces Zeus which angers Hera. Zeus plants a fake dream in Agamemnon's head.
Prince Hector of Troy
