A review by ichirofakename
Helen by Euripides

2.0

Doesn't really work for me. Choruses weak and boring. Plot ridiculous. Just like Iphigenia in Tauris, a Homeric tale is reworked via god magic. This time Helen it turns out never went to Troy, ending up in Egypt instead, as a phantom replica goes to Troy. Making the Trojan War even more pointless. Menelaus finds her and brings her home, escaping the clutches of the king of Egypt. Romance, not tragedy. Read the other one instead.
