Answer 2

Helen of Troy was supposedly the daughter of Zeus (the god of the sky, king of the gods, etc.) and Nemesis or Leda (the goddess of revenge; a minor Greek goddess). She may have been related to Polydeuces, a Greek hero also known as Pollux. She was said to be born from an egg, as were her brothers, Castor and Pollux. When she became older, she was abducted by Theseus and Pirithous, both sons of gods, who believed their wives should be of godly descent. Theseus chose Helen, while Pirithous chose to marry Persephone, wife of Hades. Hades is the god of the Underworld, as well as the brother of Zeus. When Castor and Pollux heard of Helen's kidnapping, they invaded Athens to capture Theseus' mother, Aethra, to exact revenge, and returned Helen to Sparta. Later, many suitors tried to win Helen's hand in marriage. Her brothers Castor and Pollux cruised through the suitors, deciding that a man named Menelaus would be fit. After their marriage, a Spartan Prince name Paris abducted Helen and started the Trojan War.
