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

Midas
The expression, “the Midas touch” has a strong history, dating back to King Midas, a Greek mythological king who could turn items into gold with a single touch. While the tale is a staple in Greek mythology, there is no hard evidence that Midas really existed. Historians have discovered an ornate burial site that dates back to the time Midas was alive but have found no proof in the gravesite that Midas lived during that era.
