Helen is an unparalleled beauty in Greece. She was extremely beautiful and married Menelaus, king of Sparta in southern Greece. Later, Paris, the prince of Troy, was ordered to have an accident in Greece and be a guest at the king of Sparta. With the help of Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, he lured Helen away and took away a lot of treasures, which aroused the public indignation of Greek tribes. Menelaus vowed to retake the ship and avenge himself. So, under the sponsorship of the heroes of Greek city-states, he mobilized100000 troops and 1 180 warships to form the Greek Coalition forces, and publicly elected Agamemnon, Menelaus' brother, as the commander of the Coalition forces, and crossed the sea to attack Troy in an attempt to recapture the ships by force. The war between the two sides 10 years, with numerous casualties and many heroes killed in battle. Even the gods of Olympus were divided into two camps, some supporting the Greeks, and some helping the Trojans, and they fought each other for a long time. Finally, the Greek Coalition forces adopted the resourceful Odysseus' "Trojan horse trick" to capture Troy from the inside. After the Greeks entered the city, they massacred and killed Prince Paris, and all the women and children in Troy became slaves. Troy was looted and burned to ashes. After the battle was stable, the Greek soldiers returned to Greece with a large number of trophies, and Menelaus took back the beautiful seagoing ship and returned to his motherland. This is the cause and end of the Trojan War. It was because of the ships that Troy was destroyed. It's really called "falling in love with the country", from which comes the idiom Helen of Troy. German archaeologist Sheriman's excavation and textual research on the ancient Trojan site of Mycenae in the19th century confirmed the authenticity of the Trojan War. As for the real reason for the destruction of Troy, although there are different opinions, the war broke out definitely not for a beautiful woman. This is not so much a war for seagoing ships as a war for commercial hegemony and wealth plunder in the region. The so-called "Helen of Troy" is essentially the embodiment of wealth and commercial hegemony. In the history of China, there were legends such as "da ji lost his business" and "Xi Shi avoided Wu", and there was also a saying that Emperor Taizong spoiled Yang Guifei and caused an Anshi rebellion, and there was also a saying that Wu Sangui "rushed to the crown and was angry as a beauty". In Chinese, there is an idiom of "falling in love with the country" (from the biography of Han consorts: "I care about the city, then I care about the country". The word "Qing" here has double light, which can indicate glamorous and fascinating; You can also overthrow the country with paper. It means a lot like Helen of Troy.
