Document Summary
Study questions #2: house of argos was deeply insulted by house of troy by breaking the law of hospitality which zeus god of guest was in favor of. House of troy not only insulted house of argos but also insulted zeus. The play described paris entering house of argos as a guest. Aphrodite god of love shot an arrow at helen, according to the myths. Helen was known as the most beautiful women who was married to menelaus. When paris saw helen he was love struck, they both had a quick spark resulting into paris stealing menelaus wife from. He not only stole the most beautiful women, but he stole a princess, royalty, and a symbol of argos away from them. Zeus believed paris took more than he deserved in other words claiming more honor then he has. This formed a rivalry between zeus and artemis.
