  1. Helen of Troy is the subject of this work. She was one of those beauties who stand out in history and legend eternally for both the admiration and the pity of mankind. The author states that listening to what he has to tell the reader about fair Helen, and the various accounts of her, it will be for you to decide for yourselves whether she was a real person, typical of beauty, charm, failings and sufferings, such as she appeared to generation after generation, a sister to Cleopatra, to Mary Queen of Scots, perhaps to Marie Antoinette of France; or was she altogether a creation of fancy, or again, a symbol or embodiment of the moon, a myth, and a mere phantom of beauty.
