Helen of Troy conjures the song epithalamium Spartan women sung at Platanistas commemorating the marriage of Helen and Menelaus: Helen's worship was also present on the opposite bank of Eurotas at Therapne, where she shared a shrine with Menelaus and the Dioscuri. The shrine has been known as "Menelaion" (the shrine of Menelaus), and it was believed to be the spot where Helen was buried alongside Menelaus. Despite its name, both the shrine and the cult originally belonged to Helen; Menelaus was added later as her husband. Isocrates writes that at Therapne Helen and Menelaus were worshiped as gods, and not as heroes.
The Private Life of Helen of Troy June 1928, and was the first person to be posthumously nominated for an Academy Award. That same year, the first "talkie", "The Jazz Singer", received an honorary award for introducing sound to film, and the category for which "The Private Life of Helen of Troy" was nominated was dropped by the second Academy Awards. Two sections from the beginning and end, running about 27–30 minutes in total, are reportedly all that survive of "The Private Life of Helen of Troy"; they are preserved by the British Film Institute.
