Helen & Paris
Paris, the son of King Priam of Troy, had been warned by his brother and sister, Helenus and Cassandra, who were gifted in divination that his journey to Greece would cause the destruction of Troy.  But Paris decided to abandonee his wife Oenone, a mountain nymph, to pursue Helen.

At Sparta, Paris became the guest of Menelaüs and Helen.  Aphrodite made Helen fall in love with the Trojan prince.  When Menelaüs went to attend his grandfather's funeral in Crete, Helen ran off to Troy with Paris with most of the treasures in Sparta, but leaving her daughter, named Hermione, behind.  The rest is History or at least Mythology...
