Helen

Helen, in Greek mythology, was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, and the wife of Menelaus, king of Sparta. She was the most beautiful of women, who was carried off to Troy by Paris, to revenge whose abduction the princes of Greece, who had pledged themselves to protect her, made war on Troy, a war which lasted ten years.
