A fiftyline fragment by the poet Stesichorus of Sicily (c. 640555 B.C.), what survives of his Pallinode, tells us almost all we know of this other Helen, and from it H. D. wove her booklength poem. The fabulous beauty of Helen of Troy is legendary. But some say that Helen was never in Troy, that she had been conveyed by Zeus to Egypt, and that Greeks and Trojans alike fought for an illusion. A fiftyline fragment by the poet Stesichorus of Sicily (c. 640555 B.C.), what survives of his Pallinode, tells us almost all we know of this other Helen, and from it H. D. wove her booklength poem. Yet Helen in Egypt is not a simple retelling of the Egyptian legend but a recreation of the many myths surrounding Helen, Paris, Achilles, Theseus, and other figures of Greek tradition, fused with the mysteries of Egyptian hermeticism.
