Helen of Troy was married to Menelaus, but was loved also by Paris.
Click link below and see a very long list of suitors!
In the link below they are listed.
Menelaus of Sparta was the Spartan King that was the true husband of Helen. Paris, a Trojan Prince, stole Helen from Menelaus and brought her back to Troy. Before this happened, you need to know some things. Helen was the most beautiful woman in the world. She had many suitors, and finally her father asked for help from Oddyeseus, King of Ithaca. Oddyseues said that Helen's father should ask all the suitors to take an oath that they will abide by Helen's father's choice and that if Helen is stolen from the man chosen, everyone must go out and hunt down that man. When Helen was stolen by Paris, everyone that was a suitor of Helen needed to take all his men and fight for Helen. This is was started the Trojan War.
Troy was met with mixed reviews, mostly praising it for it's action but criticizing it for it's script writing.
Helen was married to King Menelaeus (say men-er-lay-us)of Sparta. when her father decided to give Helen a husband he said she must be blindfolded and put a golden wreath on the lucky man in the husband choosing. When Helen was blindfolded, she prayed to Aphrodite (say afro-dite-e) the goddess of love to make her choose Menalaeus. Suddenly Aphrodite made a pin prick sized hole on the blindfold so Helen could where Menalaeus was.
Some legends say that Paris forcibly abducted Helen; others that she fell in love with him and went willingly. In one peculiar account, originating in Stesichorus and used by Euripides, Helen was rescued by Proteus in Egypt, who substituted in her stead a phantom that sailed to Troy with Paris. Proteus then cared for Helen until Menelaus finally claimed her. In the Iliad and Odyssey, Helen becomes Paris' wife but is in sympathy with the Greeks. She is easily reconciled with Menelaus after the war, and they return to a peaceful life at Sparta.
the metaphor isn't compatible with the book. so for that i will not answer
Helen was one of the most beautiful women in the world and had many suitors. When she chose to marry Menalaus, her father asked all the other suitors (including Odysseus) to support the marriage rights of her choice. The story goes that, after some years of marriage, Helen ended up in Troy. At that time, Menelaus asked Odysseus and the other suitors to help him bring Helen back from Troy. After the war was won, Helen and Menelaus reunited.

Most of the suitors ignored Odysseus. Some of the suitors treated him decently as a beggar, giving him some bread and some soup. Some suitors, like Antinuous, abused Odysseus verbally. Antinous threw a footstool at Odysseus.
Helen was lured to Troy by Paris, who is said to have seduced her. Helen was regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world. After Paris had declared Aphrodite as the fairest of all Goddesses, she promised him the most beautiful woman in the world. Some argue that he had to take Helen by force, and others believe that Aphrodite made Helen fall in love with Paris, and she went willingly.
In Homer's version of The Odyssey, Helen escapes after the Trojan Horse, which is a gift to Troy, came past the gates of Troy and destroys Troy in flames.Before the horse enters, Odesseus disguises to dress as a beggar. To achieve the look, he "...first, given himself an outrageuos beating and thrown some rags on",then enters the city of Troy. When reaches Helen, she realizes Odysseus as he tells exactly what his fighters were going to do to get through the gates of Troy and rescue Helen.So Helen knew the plan that the Akhaians or Achaeans (Greeks) were passing the gates of Troy by a gifted wooden creature, the Trojan Horse.After entering, the fighters came out when the Ilians or Iliad (Trojans) were sleeping and put the city in ruins.As a result, Helen escaped from the destroyed city and was returned back to Menelaus as husband and wife in Sparta.
