The Golden Apple: 

The Golden Apple Priam had a son called Paris but a faithful soothsayer foretold that Paris would cause Troy to burn so Priam dumped his son outside Troy. A Shepherd found him and brought him up as his own. One day as Paris was with his flock three beautiful goddesses came down with a golden apple and told Paris to give it to the fairest of the three.

Venus’s Offer:

Helen of the fair cheeks: 

Helen of the fair cheeks Venus could only find one mortal as fair as herself. Her name was Helen of the fair cheeks and she was incredibly beautiful. The only problem was Helen was married to Menalaeus, king of Sparta.

Love at first sight:

Agamemnon: 

Agamemnon When menalaeus came back from hunting and found Paris had taken his wife away he sent word to his brother, Agamemnon, who set out to find warriors to help get Helen back.

Odysseus : 

Odysseus Odysseus, king of Ithaca, heard that Agamemnon was looking for warriors to get Helen back but Odysseus didn’t want to go to war. He had a wife and son and no intention of leaving his small island so he came up with an idea.

Madness of the Ithacan King: 

Madness of the Ithacan King When Menalaeus’s great, gold boat arrived at Ithaca he and Philoctities(the greatest archer in all the world) stepped out. They climbed the hill and found an astonishing sight. Odysseus was ploughing the field with a crown on his head and a mad look in his eyes.

Philoctities Cunning Plan: 

Philoctities Cunning Plan Menalaeus turned to Philoctities and said “come on, I can’t have men like that in my army” Philoctities looked at him and replied, “He is either very mad or very cunning,” and as he said it he ran into the palace of Odysseus and gabbed Odysseus's son, Telemachus, and placed him in the path of the plough

Grim Defeat : 

Grim Defeat The plough moved on towards the baby Telemachus. Philoctities watched, eyes shining. If Odysseus was really mad he would slice up his son. If he was not mad he would stop the plough but revealing himself in return. Odysseus saw Telemachus just in time to stop the plough.

Good-bye: 

Good-bye Odysseus said his goodbyes quickly, then gathered his men and set off to the unknown land of Troy. Penelope waved until the ship was just a dot, heading towards the horizon of Neptune's wavy sea.
