005. The face that launched a 1000 ships. Part 1 Helen of Sparta
Spartan History Podcast02/02/20 • 33 min
Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world. Her image has resonated down the generations and she has become the archetypal model of feminine beauty and refinement. With a name meaning bright, or shining, this mythical woman's story is rather a dark one punctuated by male transgression.
From her conception on the banks of the Eurotas river, through to her marriage to Menelaus, join me as we take a look into her formative years. We'll discover the curse that comes with great beauty and the extreme lengths people will go to in order to possess it.
Part 1 of my 3 part biographical look at the classical Spartans most famous ancestor.
