But when Helen left Sparta with a handsome prince from Troy, she discovered that actions have consequences. Learn more about the rocky life of this beautiful queen.</p> <h3>Children's Literature</h3> <p>Geared to a younger reader, this abbreviated telling of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of Sparta, uses a large font and vivid descriptions paired with illustrations to bring the story to life.
