Helen in Egypt is a three-act play written by J. P. Lavallin in 1882. The play is a retelling of the classic Greek myth of Helen of Troy, but with a twist. In this version, Helen is not the cause of the Trojan War, but rather a victim of the gods' manipulations. The play takes place after the fall of Troy, as Helen is taken to Egypt by the gods to be reunited with her husband, Menelaus. Along the way, she is confronted by various characters, including the goddess Aphrodite, who tries to convince her to stay in Egypt with a new lover. The play explores themes of fate, love, and the power of the gods over mortals. It is a unique interpretation of a well-known story and offers a fresh perspective on the character of Helen.Adapted From The Greek.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
