Depending on which writer one reads to know about the great Trojan war; the following plausible versions become palpable:

​

Was Helen abducted by Paris and thus a hostage to the Trojan empire?

​

Did Helen betray the Greeks and her husband to pursue her passion with Paris?

​

Was Helen conflicted herself, between 'loyalty to her husband' and 'attraction to Paris'?

​

Or had Helen come off from the patriarchal possession of Greeks to her heart's love: Paris?
