What Happened To Paris And Helen
She refused and paris died.
What happened to paris and helen. Ultimately paris was killed in action and in homer s account helen was reunited with menelaus though other versions of the legend recount her ascending to olympus instead. Helen was already married to king menelaus of sparta a fact aphrodite neglected to mention so paris had to raid menelaus s house to steal helen from him according to some accounts she fell in love with paris and left willingly. There is however another version of helen s journey from mycenae put forth by the historian herodotus the poet stesichorus and the playwright euripides in his play helen. Parsi and helen were married paris was killed in the trojan war.
Another account mentions that helen and paris had three kids bunomus corythus and idaeus but sadly these boys died when the roof of the family home in troy collapsed. Helen fled to troy with paris son of the trojan king priam. But menelaus was going to punish helen for betraying him. Helen was won and taken back to menelaus in sparta.
The poet stesichorus however related in his second version of her story that she and paris were driven ashore on the coast of egypt and that helen was detained there by king proteus. And eventually menelaus king of sparta took back helen as his wife. When the trojan prince paris abducted helen the beautiful wife of menelaus king of sparta and carried her off to the city of troy the greeks responded by mounting an attack on the city thus beginning the trojan war. When paris was slain she married his brother deiphobus whom she betrayed to menelaus when troy was subsequently captured.
Paris chose aphrodite and therefore helen. At therapne she shared a shrine with menelaus. The helen carried on to troy was thus a phantom and the real one was recovered by her husband from egypt after the war. Menelaus and she then returned to sparta where they lived happily until their deaths.
He was shot by the warrior philoctetes. A later commentator suggests helen and menelaus had another little boy pleisthenes whom she took with her when she fled to troy adding that helen also bore paris a son named aganus. He begged the nymph oenone who he had loved but abandoned for helen to heal his wound.
