Answer: Here you go

Explanation: Classical accounts claim that the conflict started after the Trojan prince Paris kidnapped (or eloped) with Queen Helen of Sparta. Menelaus, Helen's abandoned husband, persuaded his brother Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, to organise an expedition to bring Helen back. The Greek warriors Achilles, Odysseus, Nestor, and Ajax accompanied Agamemnon, who also had a fleet of over a thousand ships from all throughout the Hellenic world. To lay siege to Troy and demand Priam, the Trojan ruler, deliver Helen, they crossed the Aegean Sea to Asia Minor.
