  • Ancient writers do not agree on whether the embassy was dispatched before the gathering of the Greek army in Aulis or after it reached Tenedos or Troia. In Herodotus' account the Trojans swore to the Greek envoys that Helen was in Egypt, not in Troy; but the Greeks did not believe them, and laid siege to the city, until they took it.

  • According to the ancient writers, it was the sight of Helen's face or breasts that made Menelaus drop his sword. See, inter alia, Aristophanes, Lysistrata, 155; Little Iliad, fr. 13 EGF.
    * Maguire, Helen of Troy, 52
  • A shared cult of Helen and her brothers in Attica is alluded to in Euripides, Helen, 1666–1669. See also Edmunds, Helen's Divine Origins, 26–29. Concerning Helen Dendritis, Gumpert (Grafting Helen, 96), and Skutsch (Helen, 109) support that she was a vegetation goddess. Meagher (The Meaning of Helen, 43 f.) argues that her cult in Rhodes reflects an ancient fertility ritual associated with Helen not only on Rhodes but also at Dendra, near Sparta. Edmunds (Helen's Divine Origins, 18) notes that it is unclear what an ancient tree cult might be.
