wanted to visit. What I learned is that I do not categorize her as a femme fatale. A femme for certain but I do not believe that she fits that fatale archetype. Per myth, her father was Zeus or Tyndareus, her mother was Leda or Nemesis. Her father, now King Tyndareus (not Zeus) had to create the Oath of Tyndareus due to the overwhelming number of suitors that wanted to marry Helen. Fast forward to Paris and The Apple of Discord and Aphrodite sending him to most beautiful woman on earth, Helen, her subsequent

Castor's dad was Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, and Pollux's dad was Zeus, father of God's and men. Leda was married to Tyndareus, but was seduced by Zeus. Castor and Pollux were very close. One day Castor was killed, and since he wasn't Zeus's son, he wasn't immortal. Pollux asked his father if he could share his immortality

being approached by many suitors - many of which were of high class and from powerful families. For this reason, Helen’s dad, King Tyndareus, made all of them swear that they would not cause any harm to Helen and her chosen husband. Because they were all wishing to be the one to marry her, they all thought the promise was to their favor and agreed.

desired the hand of Helen, "the beautiful daughter of King Tyndareus of Sparta"(Odysseus). Even though this was unlikely to happen due to the poorness of Ithica, Odysseus tried none the less. When Odysseus went to Sparta as a suitor he displayed his cunning personality, for this he quickly became famous.
