Paris, a son of the king of Troy, kidnaps Helen, who becomes the legendary �Helen of Troy� and �the woman with the face that launched a thousand ships.�

The Iliad deals with only a small portion of the Trojan War; in fact, it covers only a few months during the tenth year of that war. The ancient Greek audience, however, would have been familiar with all the events leading up to this tenth year, and during the course of the Iliad, Homer makes many references to various past events.
