Helen of Troy: Beauty is War

Why must I be so beautiful?  My beauty has caused this war.  If I did not have this curse, Paris would not have noticed me and taken me to Troy.  I regret running away with Paris every day.  I was distracted and deceived by his beauty.  I have caused so many lives to be lost.  I am so disgusted with myself and take responsibility for the destruction of both the Greeks and the Trojans.  I am a hateful creature and wish I would have died when Paris brought me here so I could have saved many other lives.

“Helen was famous in the whole world for her beauty; and beauty being a precious thing, many contended in order to possess her. Therefore, she was also hated by many others on account of the woes her beauty caused. For the Trojan War, some believe, was caused by her, and since many died in that huge conflict, she was surnamed "Lady of Sorrows" (Parada).”  

Helen is originally from Sparta but is taken to Troy.
