Helen
Ἑλένη
Beauty that started an entire war.
She is said to have been born from an egg, the child of Leda and Zeus in the form of a swan.
Wife of Menelaus, king of Sparta, she left with Paris for Troy — and the Greek alliance sailed to bring her back.
Every telling judges her differently — a woman who left of her own will, a woman taken by force, or a woman who was never in Troy at all (Euripides' Helen).
