Overview
Transcending the literal bounds of genre, Euripides' Helen has been characterized as both a comedy and a tragedy.

The reader encounters myriad reversals, worlds--real/ideal, tragic/comic--surprisingly juxtaposed and, as in any story of Helen, the pathos of the impossible, all allowing Euripides to comment of the futility of war and the difficult distinction between appearance and reality.
