do you ever think about the scene in odyssey 4 where menelaus describes how helen figured out that there were Probably Some Greeks in the trojan horse and tried to get them to speak to her by calling out to them in the voices of their wives? because i think about that scene a lot!
helen is a literal demigoddess (daughter of Zeus) but like, not in the way that achilles or sarpedon or aeneas are demigods, where their divine ancestry makes them More Of Themselves. achilles is like… too achilles to even live. he is doomed by the mythic violence of his own personality–too proud, too strong, too full of rage.
but helen’s divinity seems to turn her into a shapeshifter? she’s not just menelaus’ wife, she is the wife of every man in greece. the oath of tyndareus is like, this symbolic marriage pact that makes her every man’s unfaithful wife, every man’s stolen daughter, every man’s lost mother. they ALL project their grief and loss and rage and hope onto her, and she absorbs and reflects it, at least insofar as it gives her a chance at survival. but it’s also one of the major things that isolates her and makes her one of the most hated people in both troy and greece. she is utterly dehumanized by a world that thinks it knows her.
i like to think about helen coming back from troy and just having, like, the BIGGEST identity crisis over what it means to just be Helen–not helen of troy, not helen of sparta, not helen-the-reason-for-the-war, not helen the stolen property, not helen the unfaithful vixen, not the thousands of helens that every achaean soldier and trojan citizen created in their minds and fashioned to be what they needed her to be in order to survive the disaster. just Helen.
