Lore[]
Menelaus and his forces managed to sneak into the city by hiding in a giant wooden horse, allowing them to massacre the people within the castle walls while they slept. When Helen realized that her husband was coming to take her back, she began to despair over how many people were throwing their lives away for her sake. No longer able to bear the guilt, she slit her own throat. The gods shed tears over her plight and granted her splendorous white wings.
