Ésta es la historia de Helena de Troya, la mujer más bella del mundo. Una mujer premiada y castigada por los dioses con un don tan único y virtuoso como maldito y terrible: una belleza incomparable, capaz de provocar la mejor locura de los hombre, pero también la peor cordura. Hija de un dios, esposa de reyes, amada y odiada por todos, Helena vivirá desde pequeña y para siempre sometida a la mirada escrutadora de amigo y enemigos, sólo por ser quien es, por ser como es, por poseer el rostro que provocará una de las guerras más famosas y legendarias de la historia de la humanidad: la guerra de Troya. De la mano y la voz de la misma Helena, en esta novela conocemos su verdadera historia; su punto de vista de la leyenda; su niñez, marcada por las funestas profecías cernidas sobre su familia, que la obligan a vivir oculta del resto del mundo; su temprano matrimonio con Menelao, tras la competencia entre cientos de pretendientes; su historia de amor y traición con Paris; el asedio de Troya; su encuentro con personajes inolvidables: Aquiles, Agamenón, Príamo, Odiseo, Héctor...La venganza, el deseo, la ira, los celos, el amor, la muerte y la soledad plagan la vida de Helena, y Margaret George, maestra en estas lides, plasma en este fascinante libro todas las contradicciones de un personaje de leyenda.La autora de Memorias de Cleopatra consigue acercarnos a la vida de un personaje que, en una terrible paradoja, encarna en su belleza la desdicha del monstruo: la soledad del ser sin par y único.

Hija del padre de todos los dioses y criatura de extraordinaria belleza, Helena es uno de los personajes más conocidos de la literatura clásica, inspirador de numerosos relatos y leyendas. La Ilíada y la Odisea, naturalmente, pero también dos célebres episodios de la Eneida, las tragedias de Esquilo y Eurípides, un drama satírico de Sófocles y dos palinodias de Estesícoro. Su belleza fue cantada por Safo y por Alceo, recordada por Heródoto en su Historia y por Hesíodo en el Catálogo de las mujeres. Su leyenda goza de una notable fortuna en el Oriente bizantino y, como modelo de mujer seductora, atraviesa el Medievo para renacer en tiempos más recientes en el Fausto de Goethe y en las óperas y las músicas de Gluck, Berlioz y Saint-Saëns. A comienzos del siglo XX, una Helena «callada y serena como la luna, sobre el fuego y la sangre» aparece retratada en los Poemi conviviali de Giovanni Pascoli, mientras su imagen, influida por el psicoanálisis, es celebrada en la obra de Hofmannsthal a la que puso música Strauss. El rostro de Helena y el relato de su historia cambian a lo largo del tiempo y se desmenuzan de versión en versión: ¿es Helena la infiel causante de la guerra de Troya, o es la mujer de Esparta ligada a las fiestas de la primavera y a la esposa de mayo? ¿Es una diosa o un daimon? ¿Es una meretriz o una mujer seductora? ¿Es una o son dos? Todos conocen el mito de la bella Helena, o, al menos, creen que lo conocen. No obstante, con el mito siempre merece la pena volver a empezar. Así, de la mano del relato, el ensayo y la iconografía, el lector se adentrará en uno de los mitos más antiguos e importantes de la cultura europea.

Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a prolific Scots man of letters, a poet, novelist, literary critic and contributor to anthropology. He now is best known as the collector of folk and fairy tales. He was educated at the Edinburgh Academy, St Andrews University and at Balliol College, Oxford. As a journalist, poet, critic and historian, he soon made a reputation as one of the ablest and most versatile writers of the day. Lang was one of the founders of the study of "Psychical Research," and his other writings on anthropology include The Book of Dreams and Ghosts (1897), Magic and Religion (1901) and The Secret of the Totem (1905). He was a Homeric scholar of conservative views. Other works include Homer and the Epic (1893); a prose translation of The Homeric Hymns (1899), with literary and mythological essays in which he draws parallels between Greek myths and other mythologies; and Homer and his Age (1906). He also wrote Ballades in Blue China (1880) and Rhymes la Mode (1884).

"The story of Helen of Troy has its origins in ancient Greek epic and didactic poetry, more than 2500 years ago, but it remains one of the world's most galvanizing myths about the destructive power of beauty. Much like the ancient Greeks, our own relationship to female beauty is deeply ambivalent, fraught with both desire and danger. We worship and fear it, advertise it everywhere yet try desperately to control and contain it. No other myth evocatively captures this ambivalence better than that of Helen, daughter of Zeus and Leda, and wife of the Spartan leader Menelaus. Her elopement with (or abduction by) the Trojan prince Paris "launched a thousand ships" and started the most famous war in antiquity. For ancient Greek poets and philosophers, the Helen myth provided a means to explore the paradoxical nature of female beauty, which is at once an awe-inspiring, supremely desirable gift from the gods, essential to the perpetuation of a man's name through reproduction, yet also grants women terrifying power over men, posing a threat inseparable from its allure. Many ancients simply vilified Helen for her role in the Trojan War but there is much more to her story than that: the kidnapping of Helen by the Athenian hero Theseus, her sibling-like relationship with Achilles, the religious cult in which she was worshipped by maidens and newlyweds, and the variant tradition which claims she never went to Troy at all but was whisked away to Egypt and replaced with a phantom. In this book, author Ruby Blondell offers a fresh look at the paradoxes and ambiguities that Helen embodies. Moving from Homer and Hesiod to Sappho, Aeschylus, Euripides, and others, Helen of Troy shows how this powerful myth was continuously reshaped and revisited by the Greeks. By focusing on this key figure from ancient Greece, the book both extends our understanding of that culture and provides a fascinating perspective on our own." - Besedilo s knjižnega zavihka.

For 3,000 years, the woman known as Helen of Troy has been both the ideal symbol of beauty and a reminder of the terrible power beauty can wield.In her search for the identity behind this mythic figure, acclaimed historian Bettany Hughes uses Homer’s account of Helen’s life to frame her own investigation. Tracing the cultural impact that Helen has had on both the ancient world and Western civilization, Hughes explores Helen’s role and representations in literature and in art throughout the ages. This is a masterly work of historical inquiry about one of the world’s most famous women.
