Black Ships Before Troy

MCGATE Blog: Black Ships Before Troy - part I: Read pages 1-39 of Black Ships Before Troy and answer the following question by Friday, December 2nd. Respond to my question using evidenc...

My beliefs and thoughts to the question of this blog are that Paris shouldn't have taken Helen back to Troy. The effect of his actions has led to quarrel and war. During the war instead of having army to army fighting, Menelaus and Paris have a one to one combat. During their combat Aphrodite, the god of love, carries Paris back to his house. Because of that the armies fight against each other instead of having just a single combat. If Paris hadn't taken Helen, none of this war or quarrel would have happened, everything would be normal.

When Paris does things he only thinks of what he is currently doing and not the effect, which is why he is ignorant. He is young and has no experience with life and it's challenges.
