Trojan War
The Trojan War started when Paris of Troy stole Helen from Menelaus, the king of Sparta, leading all the Greek kings, including Odysseus, to sail to Troy for a ten-year battle. Odysseus, known for his cleverness, came up with the Trojan Horse trick, allowing Greek soldiers to sneak into Troy and win the war. While the other Greeks headed home, Odysseus faced a cursed journey because the gods were angry with him. This shows how the Trojan War was just the beginning of his troubles.
