Helen of Troy: The Story Behind the Most Beautiful Woman in the World
- Used Book in Good Condition
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 Homerâ€™s account of Helenâ€™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 Helenâ€™s role and representations in literature and in art throughout the ages. This is a masterly work of historical inquiry about one of the worldâ€™s most famous women.
