What is wrong with Carolyn, why didn't she pick Mythology?
Although Hector was kind to her (Book 6), Hector told her: "I intend to look into my own house to see my house-slaves and my dear wife and little boy." Helen knew Hector was taken.
Aphrodite ordered Helen to make love to Paris (Book 3). "So she spoke, and Helen, child of Zeus was terrified." When Aphrodite (the Goddess of Love, Lust, and Beauty) talked - people listened. They still do today.

According to the legends, she was made to love Paris by Aphrodite, in return for his selection of Aphrodite in a baeuty pagent. So love is the accpeted reason she dumped her husband and went with Paris.

Do you really think that Hector was as suave and debonair as Paris?
