About this ebook
This book is the Helen of Troy addition of the “Influential Women in History” series. An important figure in Greek mythology, Helen of Troy was the daughter of Zeus and Leda. She was the most beautiful woman in the entire world, and her abduction by Paris marked the beginning of the Trojan war. This fascinating and detailed book explores the character and history of Helen of Troy, and is highly recommended for those with a keen interest in Greek mythology. This book has been selected for modern republication due to its educational and historical value, and would make for a fantastic addition to any bookshelf. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on Greek mythology.
