Who was Helen in greek mythology?
She was the daughter of the God Zeus and a princess of Sparta. Se was fabled to be the most beautiful woman that ever lived and was kidnapped by prince Paris of Troy and taken to Troy. The Spartans (and other Greek kings) mounted an expedition to reclaim her and the story of this is called the "Trojan Wars" as told by Homer in the Iliad.
Trojan wars it was for the fairest?
The words " It Was For the Fairest" were attached to The Apple of Discord.
What were Demeter's and Hestia's side in the Trojan War?
many of the gods were indifferent-or wasnt interested in wars in general
Compare and contrast the Trojan war to the peloponnesian war?
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some ancient history here. So, like, the Trojan War was all about Helen of Troy and that wooden horse, right? And then the Peloponnesian War was like Athens versus Sparta, with a whole lot of fighting and stuff. So, yeah, they were both wars in ancient Greece, but, like, different reasons and players, you know?
How did the trojan wars start?
The Trojan War started as a judgment to see who was the most beautiful goddess. There were three of the goddesses, named Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena. No man was bold enough to make such a tough choice, as they were all beautiful. Eventually, the gods had to choose a man to judge between the three women, so he chose a man named Paris to do the judging. Each of the 3 women offered Paris something if he chose them; Athena offered wisdom in all battles, Hera offered all of Asia, and Aphrodite offered a true love. After a very difficult decision, Paris chose Aphrodite. After being selected Aphrodite had to find him a true love. She decided to kidnap Helen, who was the wife of the Greek King Menalaus, to be his love. When discovering that his wife had been kidnapped, Menelaus became outraged and declared war against the Trojans, hence the start of the Trojan War. Hope this helps! I tried to be detailed but not make the summary too long.
