Helen of Troy

Helen of Troy was the Greek King Menelaus’s wife in Homer’s The Iliad and was known as the world’s most beautiful woman. However, due to a lack of evidence, historians have questioned Helen’s existence. Many people believe she was merely a mythological figure added to the story.

Midas

The term “the Midas touch” has a long history, dating back to King Midas, a Greek mythological king who had the ability to turn anything into gold with a single touch. While the story is well-known in Greek mythology, there is no proof that Midas ever existed. Historians discovered an ornate burial site that dates back to when Midas was alive, but there is no evidence that Midas lived during that time period in the gravesite.
