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.
