Helen disguises herself as a boy to board the ship her brothers are sailing and for the chance to find the Golden Fleece. Her gender is uncovered; she’s captured, and then promised as the wife to a family enemy. Helen’s trusted free slave is the only one who can help her out of this miserable situation and reunite her with her family. Her role of Queen of Sparta-in-training proves quite the challenge to this free spirit. (Grades 6 & up)
