The Helen of Troy’s myth inspired poets and artists from classical Antiquity. We will review the portrayal of her reunion with Menelaus during the Ilioupersis in the Italian peninsula, back in the 4th century BC. In Magna Graecia, and especially in Apulia, the illustrators develop a specific depiction inspired by the iconographic scheme of Cassander’s aggression by Ajax of Oilée during the same night. In Etruria, there is also a correlation between the two heroines. On a series of mirrors depicting the same scene, we find this “slip” of the iconographic scheme. Through these various representations, we see the development in the Italian world of a specific mythological iconography that testifies to a coherent iconographic network and perhaps intercultural exchanges between Magna Graecia and the Tyrrhenian world
