We are excited to announce the release of the next volume in the series of English books for young and old, which introduce readers to the world and culture of ancient Greece through the emblematic heroines of mythology, focusing on the mythical figure of the most beautiful woman in Antiquity, Helen, who became the source of many torments and legends for the Greek world.

Whether it involves adaptations of classic tragedies by Euripides, Aeschylus, and Sophocles or original works based on well-known sources, these books aim to take readers on a journey filled with adventure, drama, death, and love, while simultaneously focusing on the women who played such significant roles in our history - and who are often still remembered as mere spectators.

The series began with the books Medea, Circe, Electra, continued with Antigone, and is now featuring Helen. The series will conclude with the release of Ariadne. Each book can be read independently, and you can start reading in any order, but there is a central thread that ultimately connects all these characters and provides a broader perspective on what it was like to be a woman in the ancient Greek world.

Helen is the most beautiful woman in the world. This beauty is both a curse and a blessing, as men fight for her wherever she goes, even abducting her in order to possess her. She becomes the most hated woman in all of Greece for the war that ensues when she is taken by Paris, the favorite of Aphrodite. But is Helen truly responsible? Is she a willful seductress with no regard for the consequences of her actions, or merely a pawn of the gods?

The series GREAT WOMEN OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY is a series of short books for young and old that introduces readers to the ancient world through its heroines. These books aim to take readers on a journey filled with excitement, drama, death, and love, while focusing on the women who have played such significant roles in our history, yet are still remembered as mere spectators.
