This paper analyzes the treatment given to the figure of Helen of Troy in the
play Juicio a una zorra (2011), which provides us with a human and postmodern model of
a woman who takes her own decisions and faces the consequences. The author, Miguel
del Arco (Madrid, 1965), takes advantage of the rich and complex mythical tradition
developed around Helen from Antiquity and, subverting it, he offers us a new point of
view, making her character appear in the presence of a public who judges her, to explain
her version of the events which led to her abuse and subsequent humiliation. In that
way, the play outlines a twenty-first century Helen whom the contemporary spectator
can fully understand
