Trivia PLEASE HELP! :) ::: Helen of Troy really preffered Paris? True or false?

thanks,Trivia PLEASE HELP! :) ::: Helen of Troy really preffered Paris? True or false?
true





Although Helen is sometimes depicted as being unwillingly raped by Paris (termed abduction as per the ancient understanding of raptus), ancient Greek sources are often elliptical and contradicting. Herodotus states that Helen was abducted, but Cypria simply mention that, after giving Helen gifts, ';Aphrodite brings the Spartan queen together with the Prince of Troy. Sappho argues that Helen willingly left behind Menelaus and Hermione, her nine-year-old daughter, to be with ParisTrivia PLEASE HELP! :) ::: Helen of Troy really preffered Paris? True or false?
It seems that Helen fell for Paris, though whether because Aphrodite interfered or as Paris had glamour and presents for her, it is not known.
