Paris, prince of Troy, has abducted Helen of Sparta. Most of the Trojans, captivated by her beauty, refuse to return her to the Greeks. Intense negotiations follow—but will the voices of peace prevail?

In this reinterpretation of ancient mythology, Giraudoux also speaks to his own time: in 1935, the First World War is still fresh in memory. The play, questioning the timeless nature of armed conflict, clearly echoes the growing tension in Franco-German relations of the 1930s. Its message, steeped in classical drama, carries a hauntingly prophetic tone.
