The story is about two kingdoms at war for Queen Helen from ancient Greece. The queen is married to King Menelaus of Sparta but was in love with prince Paris of Troy. The story has a sad ending when prince Paris dies and the queen is captured and taken back to Greece. The story was very interesting but really really sad at the same time because the war goes on for ten years.

I think Odysseus’s idea was brilliant when he thought of building a huge wooden horse inside which the army would hide. The horse was then given as a present to the Trojans. It was a great idea.
