Greeking Out from National Geographic Kids
The Story of Helen, Castor and Clytemnestra
Helen's mother was a mortal woman named lida, who married tindari, king of sparta. Zeus wasn't exactly a free agent himself, in he was married to the goddess hera.

Nine months later, Lida laid two giant eggs which hatched and produced two sets of twins: castor and clytemnestra, and polyduces and helen.
