Helen of Troy

Helen is the daughter of Zeus and Leda, queen of Sparta, wife of King Meneleus, and sister of Castor, Polydeuces, and Clytemnestra. Her abduction by Paris brought about the Trojan War. Helen was also said to be the most beautiful woman in the world,even more beautifuler than aphroditie.

History
When the three Olympian goddesses Athena, Hera and Aphrodite appeared to Paris and asked him to make a decision on who was the most beautiful goddess. As Paris was unable to decide, the goddess each offered him a gift in return if he chose them. Athena offered all the wisdom in the world as well as good swordsmanship. Hera offered him power over the nations. Aphrodite offered to give him the most beautiful woman in the world Helen. After listening to that, Paris immediately chose Aphrodite making Athena and Hera outraged. This was eventually orchestrated by Eris as Paris claiming Helen for his wife even though she was already married to King Menelaus. This action ended up starting the Trojan War. When Troy fell thanks to the Greeks using the Trojan Horse, Paris was killed and Helen was reclaimed.
