I had heard about a version of the myth according to which Helen was never actually kidnapped by Paris because the gods had hidden her and replaced her with 'her image', but had never been able to locate the source. This tragedy by Euripides recounts what happened to the real Helen, so blamed for being the cause of the Trojan war when in reality she never even met Paris. I loved it.
