After Paris swept Helen away from her husband in Sparta to his home in Troy, Menelaus started a war to win her back. The Deities have already decided its outcome of the war. The Goddess Aphrodite, who started it all when she promised Paris the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, is tired of the war. Therefore, she turns her attention to the two sisters.
