Everyone knows the story of Romeo and Juliet. Through the mists of time another story comes to us, equally vivid and tragic, of a young Spartan Princess by the name of Helen. She loves and is beloved by Prince Menelaus. But they cannot be together.In that far-off age the royal women of Greece are the keepers of the faith for the Old Religion of a Mother Goddess, primeval in her dark mysteries and yet all-powerful. But Menelaus is bound by a sacred oath to his brother, King Agamemnon, who shows no respect for the Goddess. Agamemnon’s Mycenaean empire is pillaging the altars of the Goddess for bronze to make weapons.
The Goddess warns Helen that if she marries Menelaus: “You and your King, and yea even your children and your children’s children, will curse you for it and even all Hellas.” When Helen says bravely, “I would choose him over my life,” she brings upon herself the abduction by Paris that overturns not only Troy but an entire civilization.
