- This article is about the mythological Greek war. For information about the 1997 romantic comedy film Trojan War, see Trojan War (film).
The Trojan War was a war waged, according to legend, against the city of Troy in Asia Minor, by the armies of the Achaeans, after Paris of Troy stole Helen of Sparta from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta. The war is among the most important events in Greek mythology and was narrated in many works of Greek literature, of which the two most famous are the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer. The Iliad relates a part of the last year of the siege of Troy, and the Odyssey describes the journey home of Odysseus, one of the Achaean leaders. Other parts of the story were narrated in a cycle of epic poems, which has only survived in fragments. Episodes from the war provided material for Greek tragedy and other works of Greek literature, and Roman poets like Virgil and Ovid.
