||||||
| The Trojan War began with the abduction of Helen, the beautiful wife of the king of Sparta, by the Trojan prince Paris. In this 17th-century painting attributed to Italian artist Giovanni Francesco Romanelli, she is represented as being carried off against her will. Some treatments present the episode as a seduction. | ||||||
