Evelyn on Instagram: "Helen of Troy
Such a lovely image from artist Evelyn De Morgan (great name, Evelyn!) and @nautiluspuzzles.
From google:
“Helen of Troy is a legendary figure in Greek mythology, renowned as the most beautiful woman in the world, whose elopement with the Trojan prince Paris sparked the decade-long Trojan War. The daughter of Zeus and Leda, she was the wife of Menelaus, King of Sparta, before going to Troy. Her story, primarily told in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, explores themes of beauty, desire, and the devastating consequences of war.”
Helen is a character in one of my favorite novels I read in 2025, The Song Of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Highly recommended!
