The Trojan War was a conflict in Greek mythology fought between the Achaeans (Greeks) and the city of Troy, which was located in what is now modern day Turkey. It began when Paris, a prince of Troy, abducted Helen of Sparta and took her back to Troy with him. The Greeks then launched a siege against the city and a long war followed, lasting for a decade. The Greeks and Trojans fought a number of battles and it eventually came to a climax on the tenth year when the Greeks tricked the Trojans into bringing the famous wooden horse into the city. The Greeks had hidden soldiers inside the horse and these soldiers opened the gates of Troy, allowing the Greek armies to enter and sack the city. The Trojan War eventually ended with Troy's destruction and the death of many Trojans.
