TFW Your Ghost Eidolon Causes the Most Famous War in Ancient History, Euripides’ Helen (Part 2)

Things aren't looking good for Helen in Egypt, but then Menelaus rolls in and... makes things more difficult.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
