She was the daughter of the God Zeus and a princess of Sparta. Se was fabled to be the most beautiful woman that ever lived and was kidnapped by prince Paris of Troy and taken to Troy.

The Spartans (and other Greek kings) mounted an expedition to reclaim her and the story of this is called the "Trojan Wars" as told by Homer in the Iliad.
