| | Helen |
 | | Helen was the daughter of Leda, queen of Sparta, and Zeus. |
 | | When Helen was still very young, Theseus, king of Athens, and Pirithous, king of Larissa, kidnapped her because they wanted, before they died, to make love to a daughter of Zeus (Bell, 224). |
 | | Once Helen was returned to Sparta, she attracted an impressive array of suitors - including Odysseus, son of Laertes, Diomedes, son of Tydeus, Protesilaus, son of Iphiclus, Patroclus, son of Menoetius, and Ajax, son of Telamon. |
