Menelaus demanded her back, and when the Trojans refused Menelaus persuaded his brother Agamemnon to lead an army against the city of Troy. Ships of soldiers led by Greek heroes, Achilles, Patroclus, Diomedes, Odysseus, Nestor, and two warriors named Ajax. For 9 years Greeks ravaged surrounding towns.
