For 3,000 years, the woman known as Helen of Troy has been both the
ideal symbol of beauty and a reminder of the terrible power beauty
can wield.
In her search for the identity behind this mythic figure, acclaimed
historian Bettany Hughes uses Homer's account of Helen's life to
frame her own investigation. Tracing the cultural impact that Helen
has had on both the ancient world and Western civilization, Hughes
explores Helen's role and representations in literature and in art
throughout the ages. This is a masterly work of historical inquiry
about one of the world's most famous women.
