Answer:

The correct answer is: The Trojan War.

Explanation:

The Trojan war started when Helen, wife of Menelaus, king of Sparta and brother of Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, was taken by the Trojan prince, Paris.

The two Atrides gathered the Greek army and sieged the city for ten years, hoping to retrieve the stolen wife and take the city.

The Iliad takes place in the tenth and final year of Troy's siege by the Achaeans. It begins with the feud between Agamemnon and Aquiles and ends with the death of the Trojan Prince, Hector, by Aquiles' hands.

The Odyssey takes place after the Acheans had taken the city thanks to Odysseus' clever plan to hide warriors inside a wooden horse and take the city from within. It tells Odysseus' adventures on his journey back home.
