Probably. Although it is likely that her story was embellished and perhaps even confused with the stories of other notable women of that region and historical period.

AnswerMany ancient legends have long been thought to be completely fictitious. However, recent historical and archaeological research has uncovered evidence that many of these 'myths' are, in fact, rooted in actual historical events. The ruins of the city of Troy, for instance, have been located.

Current analyses of the works of Homer indicate that he was more historian than storyteller. Although one must understand that in his time there was little distinction between those occupations and the events he recorded had probably been retold many times before he wrote them down.

Yes. she was a Greek demigoddess and was a daughter of Zeus and Leda. She was wife of King Menelaus. Her siblings were Castor, Polydeuces, and Clytemnestra. Later, Paris, helped by Aphrodite, abducted her to Troy. After that she was Helen of Troy.

Other than the Homeric tale and later tales which may or may not have come from an earlier tradition, there is no evidence that Helen ever existed.

She is the daughter of Zeus and the queen of Sparta. The famous Trojan War was fought over her love. After the war her husband was Menelaus of Argos.

No. except in the sense any fictional character, like say Tom Sawyer, is Immortal. She was a mortal Greek Noblewoman of the Trojan tribe.
