Helen of Sparta... or Helen of Troy?

Helen of Troy was once known as Helen of Sparta. 

It all began when Helen was dating Menelaus,

who was the leader of the Spartan gang.

Everyone thought Helen was effortlessly georgeous.

 

The leader of the Trojan gang, Paris, wanted Helen for himself.

So, he kidnapped Helen from the city of Greece,

where the Spartans resided and began a turf war

between the two gangs that lasted for 10 weeks.

 

The Spartans developed a plan to trick the Trojans

and return Helen to her rightful place with the Spartans.

They fixed up an old car, and hid the gang’s best fighters inside of it.

During a brawl, the Spartans pretended to retreat and left the car behind.

 

The Trojans pushed the car into the city of Troy and kept it as a victory trophy.

That night, when all of the Trojans were asleep, the gang members hid in the car

quietly crept out and opened the city gates to let in the rest of the Spartans.

The Spartans ambushed the Trojans, saved Helen, and ended the turf war.
