But where did those myths originate?
And why has she retained such a powerful presence over the centuries?
In 'Helen of Troy' Jack Lindsay uncovers the woman behind the legend.

It traces the steps by which she changes front the daemonic creature of Homer into the vanity-crazed coquette of Euripides.
