The play explores themes of love, betrayal, and identity through the character of Helena, the wife of Menelaos, who finds herself caught in a web of misunderstandings and divine machinations that have led to the Trojan War. The narrative reveals Helena's plight and her struggle to prove her innocence regarding the war caused by Paris's abduction of her. At the start of the play, Helena reflects on her past, recounting the events that led to the Trojan War and her current situation in Egypt, where she is under the protection of King Proteus. As she laments her fate, she encounters Teukros, a Greek warrior, who expresses hatred towards her for the destruction her supposed actions have caused. Despite her desperate circumstances, Helena remains determined to prove her fidelity to Menelaos and to find a way home. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Helena's character as she navigates her reality, combating the perceptions of others and striving to reclaim her identity amidst the chaos that surrounds her.
