Hailed as Cynwulfs masterpiece Elene is one of the earliest poems by him. This brilliant translation captures the true essence of the poem as it narrates the efforts made by Saint Helena the mother of Emperor Constantine to find the true Holy Cross. It also dwells on her efforts to convert the Jews. Riveting!
