Been working on a book from the POV of Helen of Troy. Finally someone's actually reading the draft. Hoping for some input.

I don't know if I'll ever publish it or not, I just need to write it, either way.

@JerseygirlinPhilly Thanks! The Trojan War story always struck me as something that takes place *around* Helen, & while she's an object of interest, she's not a main actor - she's acted upon, instead. I thought it'd be interesting to see what the story could be like from her POV.

@Impious_Jade How are you going to portray her relationship with Paris? Abduction or elopement?

@JerseygirlinPhilly I'm portraying it as elopement.

It's weird, because marriage by abduction was a thing in Bronze Age Greece, as far as anyone can tell; & an abduction wasn't always an unwilling thing on the part of the abductee.

@JerseygirlinPhilly Yeah. I could see it go either way. The story is so different, depending on which way you go.
