Helen is a hard character to make into a main character, the defining aspect of her across myths is that she left her home either willingly (and helped bring about the downfall of the Greeks, a seductive villainous) or that she was taken away and had to be rescued (a captive damsel) and both of those are rather passé ideas. Many men around her still want to be with her despite those wars and they all believe that they have the power to defy fate and to make her love them.Īnd this has ended up being yet another retelling of Helen of Sparta/Troy that I disliked which is unexpected but frustrating.
More beautiful than any other woman she has a hard time contextualizing this being so isolated from everyone else, both because of her status and her nightmares of the wars that will follow her. Long before Helen went to Troy she was from Sparta and was born to be it's next queen.
