Helen,The First Trojan Horse takes a unique look at the Trojan War, from Helen and King Menelaus' perspective as well as the Trojan side of the story, and provides an unexpected twist into Helen's role in the war. Like the wooden horse to come later, Helen was not what she seemed to the Trojans and she helped fulfill the Trojan prophecy of their own destruction. It tells the story of the Trojan War from both sides, and gives the reader insight into the War not found in most history books.
