The Trojan war. By: Joe Purpura and Jake Koehler

Once in Troy, Paris the king had to decide who was the most beautiful between Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite. If Athena was chosen, she would give him power. If Hera was picked, she would give him wealth. But if Aphrodite won, Paris would get the most beautiful wife. Aphrodite won and sent Paris to retrieve his wife. His wife was actually Helen, Sparta’s Queen. Paris stole Helen and returned to troy. Melenaos, king of Sparta, was furious. He went to Troy and laid siege on them for 10 years. That’s how the Trojan war started.

The battle lasted ten years. Then Athena gave Ulysses an idea for him to defeat Troy. The plan was to put his men into a big horse give the horse as a gift to the king of Troy. Then when it was brought to the king’s throne and when every one went to sleep, they would jump out and kill everyone there. So he carried out his plan and Sparta won the Trojan war. Then Sparta got their queen, Helen back. When going back, the fleet of ships became cursed. This is called the Oddessy, but that’s a different story!
