What happens

Helen of Troy is a 2003 television miniseries based on Greek mythology, retelling the story of the Trojan War as recounted in Homer's epic poem the Iliad and the wider Trojan Cycle. The series was entirely shot on location in Malta. It came out a year before Troy, a major motion picture based on the same myths. It also shares its name with a 1956 film adaptation of the myths.
