And long and wistfully he looked at her, and the blinding tears came to his eyes for no reason at all, and for the while he could not speak. Then Jurgen yawned, and said, "But certainly this is not the Helen who was famed for beauty." "I can assure you that it is," said Anaitis: "and that it is she who rules in Leuke, whither I do not intend you shall go."
This is unheard of in Iliad and Odyssey, though familiar to Aeschylus. Achilles, after death, is carried to the isle of Leuke. The fate of Ilium, in the Cyclic Little Iliad, hangs on the Palladium, of which nothing is known in Iliad or Odyssey. He is dated about 750 B.C.
Herodotus tells us how Helen, as a Goddess, appeared in her temple and healed a deformed child, making her the fairest woman in Sparta, in the reign of Ariston. It may, perhaps, be conjectured that in Sparta, Helen occupied the place of a local Aphrodite. In another late story she dwells in the isle of Leuke, a shadowy bride of the shadowy Achilles.
