Was this the face that launched 1000 ships?

Hey all. Its homework! I have to my impression of the face that launched 1000 ships (Helen of Troy).

I may aswell tell you the story since i'm doing the subject.

Sit tight ladies and gentlemen. This is a long story. I learned it from my classics teacher a while back. (Please try to ignore the terrible punctuation)

Ok here we go... Part 1

Zeus the king of the gods was up to his usual tricks. Cheating on his wife.
There are very few gods that new about this. Apart from him and the person he was cheating on only one other man new He was the gods Profet.

One day Zeus was just going to see this ladie Making sure that his wife wasn't around. When he bumped into the Profet. It was a coincedence Because the Profet was looking for him

He told him of how he should stop cheating on his wife. Just incase.
Zeus asks why? The Profet was in silence for a moment As he says just incase she has a baby. Whenever a leader of the gods had a son that was more powerful then him then it is tradition that the son would kill his Parent to get the throne.

So he takes the Profets advice. So he meets up with her a while later.
And sits her down and says to her Look we cant see each other anymore of course she asks why? He replied We just cant but I found a lovely nice Mortal for you. In fact Your getting married soon its all sorted! She speechless Wait she says Hoping not to annoy Zeus This mortal can have me If He can catch me and hold onto me.

Zeus agrees for this Mortal so early in the morning they all meet down at a Plain of grass, So there all there Zeus The mortal And the Ladie.

So Zeus ok shall we start? So the ladie starts running as fast as she can with a big smirk on her face They mortal chases after her but eventially he caught up with her and rugby tackled her. But this was no ordinary lady she was a shape changer so she changed into evry shape she could think of. But eventually she couldn't do it anymore and she fell over too tired to continue. The mortal had won he was still holding onto her. So she finds out that this mortal isn't so bad after all before the wedding when they send invites to the gods it says at the end of the letter

P.S don't tell Eris.

And this is where the fun begins. Of course Eris finds out but the problem is Eris is the god of Fighting and Arguments so when she finds out she decides shes going to Crash The Wedding.

Stick around another day guys for part 2! Called The golden apple and The trojan war.
