How old was Helen of Troy when she died?

Answer 1

Most myths claim that the gods, angry at the trouble Helen had caused, sent storms to drive their ships off course to Egypt and other lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea. When they finally arrived in Sparta, the couple lived happily, although by some accounts, Menelaus remained suspicious of Helen's feelings and loyalty.

Many stories say that Helen remained in Sparta until her death (unknown). But others say that she went to the island of Rhodes after Menelaus died, perhaps driven from Sparta by their son Nicostratus. At first she was given refuge on Rhodes by Polyxo, the widow of Tlepolemus, one of the Greek leaders who had died in the Trojan War. Later, however, Polyxo had Helen hanged to avenge the death of her husband. One very different version of Helen's story claims that the gods sent an effigy, or dummy, of Helen to Troy but that she actually spent the war years in Egypt.

Answer 2

Actually she was quite old,since she was first abducted and kept in Afidnes by Theseus,and Theseus lived in the ages of Hercules.Hercules conquered Troy years before the next battle.This means that Helen was about the age of Hecuba,the mother of Paris.She was just a pretext to start the big war and possibly she wasn't even pretty.The myth of her divine beauty is spread just to justify the conquer.
