Introduction
In Greek mythology, Helen of Troy was the most beautiful woman in Greece and had many suitors. When Menelaus was chosen as her husband, her other suitors vowed to protect their marriage. Years later, Paris, having been promised the most beautiful woman in the world by Aphrodite, went to Sparta, and while Menelaus was away, fled with Helen to Troy. Menelaus and Helen's former suitors joined forces to retrieve her from Paris, which began the ten-year Trojan War. Paris was killed during the conflict, and Helen was married to his brother Deiphobus. When Deiphobus was killed, Menelaus took Helen back to Sparta.

The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus tells the story of a scholar who sells his soul to the devil to be able to perform "black magic" for twenty-four years. At the end of the play, just before he must die to fulfill this commitment, his last desire is to see Helen of Troy once more. He had previously conjured her spirit for three scholars who wished to see the woman they had decided had been most admired for her beauty.
