Helen's Judgement

"We all blamed Helen"

 

She's the most scapegoated heroine in Greek mythology, but there's never just one side to any story. This new framing uncovers the complexities of Helen of Troy, a woman tormented by the blame placed on her by others and tortured by her own guilt.

Haunted by her decision to leave her child behind on fleeing her unhappy marriage, Helen seeks to build a new life in Troy with her lover, Paris. She yearns to recreate the childhood family she lost when she married Menelaus, but her outraged husband vows to regain her by force, at the head of a vast army.

Blamed by both sides for her part in the war, Helen must decide where her loyalty―and her safety―lies.
