Helen was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, wife of Tyndareus, King of Sparta. Zeus mated with Leda in the form of a swan, and fathered Helen and her brother Pollux on her. In a strange mythologic biological phenomenon, Pollux is the twin of Castor, the son of Leda and Tyndareus. Thus, all of Zeus' other offspring are related to Helen, as are many of the gods and goddesses. On her mother's side, Helen had four half-sisters: Clytemnestra, Timandra, Phoebe, and Philonoe. The latter three, however, to quote C.S. Lewis, "do not come into the story much." Clytemnestra married King Agamemnon of Mycenae. Clytemnestra's children, and Helen's half-nieces & nephews were Iphigenia, Orestes, Chrysothemis, and Electra. Helen married Agamemnon's brother, King Menelaus of Sparta, with whom she had a daughter, Hermione. Hermione married Neoptolemus, son of Achilles, but later eloped with Orestes (incidentally her half-first cousin) and became the mother of Tisamenus. As a side note, it is interesting that Tisamenus is both Helen's grandson, and her half-grand-nephew
