Exploring the life of a real aristocrat from the Greek Bronze Age, this work by historian Bettany Hughes delves into the context surrounding Helen, often idealized in art and mythology. By reconstructing her story, Hughes places Helen among the legendary figures of both myth and history, offering insights into her existence as a flesh-and-blood princess rather than just a pin-up of Romantic artists. The narrative intertwines history and legend, revealing the complexities of her character and the era she inhabited.
