Kirke (Circe)

House of Atreus (Prelude to Helen of Troy)

Betrayal. Greed. Jealousy. These are the dark threads woven into the very fabric of one of the most cursed families in Greek mythology. It’s a family whose legacy is steeped in murder, vengeance, and unimaginable acts of cruelty — setting the stage for one of history’s most infamous women: Helen of Troy.
