WHAT Was This Woman's SECRET?

WE know that Helen of Troy

was beautiful enough to have one of the most famous battles in history fought in her honour, and we could certainly do with some- one to-day whose face alone could launch us a thousand ships. But what no one can quite make up his mind about is.. whether or not the lovely Helen was also a drug addict.

Here and there a frag- ment in her story seems to point to the fact that Helen definitely was..

For instance, in the Odyd sey, Homer tells us that when Telemachus visited Menblaus (Hélen's lawful husband) in Sparta, the remembrance of Ulysses and other warriors acted very depressingly on the assembly, so Menclaus or- dered a banquet, to be served and Helen herself prepared the guests a peculiar drink.

"And Helen, daughter of Zeus, poured into the wine a drug. Nepenthe, which gave forgetfulness of evil,
