Description & Specifications

What happens when the concept of absolute beauty is personified? How is such a person defined in literature? Why do ancient writers not describe Helen's appearance? When do we talk about the "Helen of Troy"? When do we refer to the "Helen of Sparta"?

What is the political image of Helen? What relationship did Helen have with the Trojan Horse? Why did she mimic the voices of the Greek women who were hiding inside it? What aspect - innocent, guilty, heartrending, or cynical - do the tragic poets choose to give to Helen, the true one or the other, the virtual one?

Menelaos Christopoulos attempts to shed light on these questions that compose a fascinating web of literary, mythological, and historical data, which have engaged scholars over the centuries concerning a literary archetype whose composition dates back to the mythical substratum of the pre-Homeric era.
