Description
Helen of Troy: Goddess, Princess, Whore by Bettany Hughes For three thousand years, Helen of Troy has been the subject of fascination and controversy. From the earliest poets to modern historians, she has been portrayed as a symbol of beauty and a force of destruction. Yet, despite the many legends and myths surrounding her, the true nature of this enigmatic figure remains elusive. This book seeks to uncover the reality behind the myth, exploring the life and times of the Bronze Age princess who was said to have sparked the Trojan War. By examining the context of life in ancient Greece, acclaimed historian Bettany Hughes sheds new light on the historical figure of Helen, separating fact from fiction and myth from reality.
