The Beginnings of the Trojan War

What are some key elements of the Trojan War and how do we know this information today? We have a vast wealth of knowledge surrounding this time in thanks to Homers Iliad. This is also where I found a significant portion of my rendition of this war. The Trojan War was fought between Greece and Troy around 1200 B.C. The war began when Paris of Troy "abducted" Helen of Greece. I brought out "abducted" in the terms of my research. Some sources I read she was abducted whereas other sources claim Paris swooned Queen Helen and convinced her to leave with him for Troy. Paris was in Greece under the invite of Zeus to determine the most beautiful women in the world which he in turn ruined by abducting Helen.
