The most famous Helen in Greek mythology refers to Helen of Troy. Helen is the daughter of King Tyndareus and Queen Leda of Sparta. But another legend says that Zeus came to Leda in the form of a swan and Helen hatched out of a swan's egg. She has an older sister Clytemnestra, wife of Agamemnon who is the king of Mycenae, and twin older brothers named Castor and Pollux (also known as Gemini). Helen was kidnapped by Theseus in her youth, but her brothers came to her rescue. Then, there was a contest for Helen, who is now reputed as the most beautiful woman in the world, among many kings and princes. The problem now was that King Tyndareus can't insult any of these powerful men by not giving Helen to them. So Odysseus, one of the suitors, in return for marrying Helen's cousin Penelope, gave him the plan to have all of the men swear an allegiance to whoever marries Helen so no one can revolt. So Helen ends up marrying Menelaus, Agamemnon's little brother. Later on in life, Prince Paris of Troy visits and kidnaps Helen. Then Agamemnon used Helen as an excuse to attack Troy. Then the Trojan war lasted for 10 years...and they finally won Helen and sacked Troy at the end of the 10 years.
