When Helen was ten or perhaps twelve years old, King Theseus of Athens, finding her extremely lovely, carried her off and brought her to Aphidnae, a city in Attica northwest of Marathon. This abduction caused the first war on account of Helen to break out. For her brothers the DIOSCURI came to Athens with an army, demanding back their sister. And when the people of the city insisted in saying that they neither had the girl nor knew where she had been left, the DIOSCURI resorted to war.

Helen's relationship with Paris varies depending on the source of the story. In some, she loved him dearly (perhaps caused by Aphrodite, who had promised her to Paris). In others, she was portrayed as his unwilling captive in Troy, or as a cruel, selfish woman who brought disaster to everyone around her, and she hated him. In the version used by Euripides in his play Helen, Hermes fashioned a likeness of her out of clouds at Zeus's request, and Helen never even went to Troy, having spent the entire war in Egypt. In all, she is described as being of magnificent beauty.

Leonymus, who visited the White Isle in the mouth of the river Danube, says that Helen, after death, was wedded to Achilles, and lived there with him. But others say that Menelaus was made immortal by Hera, and he and Helen live in happiness in the Elysian Fields.
