Abstract
This paper studies the version of Helen's history that Euripides dramatizes in his Hellene tragedy, and provides an account of its precedents; the paper goes on to examine the way the tragedy was received and the response to a singular treatment of Helen, which Luis Riaza brings to the stage in Calcetines, máscaras, pelucas y paraguas (Antitragedia recosida con retazos de poetas muertos), and tries to explain the causes of the particular reception in the classical tradition of Helen
