Troy

[tucho58]

what was the fate of Helen and Paris after Troy's fall?

[Quizmonster]

Menelaus took Helen back to Lacedaemon, where they lived an apparently happy married life again. Paris died in the Trojan War.

Partly agree with Quizmaster......the story goes that Paris was killed by the bow of Hercules before the fall of Troy......his first girlfriend threw herself onto his funeral pyre when she heard the news!

Helen and Meneleus sailed for Sparta but were shipwrecked in Egypt. The men were kept prisoner whilst Helen became priestess to a cult that practiced human sacrifice! Of course, Meneleus was to be the next victim but was recognised by Helen! They escaped to Greece and lived happily ever after etc!!

if u watched the brad pitt movie then artistic licence was used to send them on there way happily ever after where in actual fact she was meant to leave and head back to troy

There are various endings:

When Paris died in the war, his brother, Deiphobus, married Helen. Deiphobus was killed by Menelaus in the sack of Troy. Menelaus had demanded that only he should slay his faithless wife; but, when he raised his sword to do so, the sight of her beauty caused him to let the sword drop from his hand. Instead, he led her in safety to the Greek ships. Helen returned to Sparta with Menelaus. After Menelaus' death, Helen was exiled by their son, Megapenthes. According to another version, used by Euripides in his Orestes, Helen had long ago left the mortal world by then, having been taken up to Olympus almost immediately after Menelaus's return.

or....

When Troy fell, Odysseus and Menelaus found Helen with Deiphobus. Menelaus killed Deiphobus (perhaps aided by Helen herself). Although Menelaus had intended to kill his unfaithful wife, her charms captivated him once again and he put her on his ship, announcing that he would kill her later. After seven years of travel on the sea, Helen and Menelaus reached Sparta and Menelaus had all but forgotten Helen's betrayal.

The final fate of Helen is cloudy. Some say that she lived out the rest of her life in Sparta. Others say that she was exiled by her ******* stepsons (Bell, 227). Others say that she was captured by Orestes and Pylades, who meant to kill her, but at the last moment she disappeared into the sky, where she became the guardian of sailors (Tripp, 265). Some even say that after her death, Helen went to the White Isle to marry Achilles.

The numerous, differing accounts as to the fate of Helen reflects the fact that, in mythology, she has very little character development. That is, some describe her as being the innocent wife, cruelly abducted. Others call her fickle, and blame the Trojan War on her adultery.

It's a ripping yarn which can be read here

Sorry, that should be various interpretations of possible endings.

If anyone knows the story, Menalause, as has been said, took Helen back to Greece.

Paris killed Achilles with a poisened arrow in his vunerable heel, and later, when Paris went to retrieve the arrow, pricked himself with it, and suffered the same fate as Achilles.
