Summary: A review on "Helen"
Comment: "Helen" is the last play in this volume, and unlike the others is not a tragedy, but a satyr play. This means that everyone doesn't die at the end, but the play is taken from a relatively happy mythological theme. "Helen" departs from the Homeric tradition, because Euripides claims that Helen was never actually taken to Troy, but was left in Egypt by Paris when he came their, and a simulacrum of Helen went to Ilium. Euripides has Menelaus and the fake Helen reach Egypt, where Helen is in danger of being taken as a wife by the new pharaoh. After they have recognized each other, they try to use trickery to escape the land of the Nile and return to Sparta. Read this volume to find out how it happened.
