Agamemnon and the Trojan war

Agamemnon was commander in chief of the trojan war. The Trojan was started because Paris of Troy stole the king of Greeces (Menelaus) wife, Helen, the most beautiful girl in the world. Menelaus was angered so he went over to Troy to get her back. Menaleus is the brother of Agamemnon so they went over to Troy with the greek forces and fought Troy. Agamemnon killed one of the 50 sons of Priam, Antiphus, while the greeks were fighting.

^^This comic strip drawing of the trojan war shows the Greeks ingenious plan. They built a giant horse out of their ships wood and some greek soliders hid inside the horse. at night when everybody was asleep they snuck out and killed everybody in their site and burned down the city. It was called the trojan horse.
