Helen is the most beautiful woman in the world, daughter of Zeus and queen of Sparta, whose flight to Troy with Paris ignites the ten-year war. Whether stolen or willing, she becomes the prize over which Greece and Troy bleed. After the city falls she returns to Menelaus, her beauty undimmed and her guilt forever debated.
