Did Helen of Troy find him capital? (5)
I believe the answer is:
paris
'capital?' is the definition.
(capital of France)
'did helen of troy find him' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'him' could be 'ari' and 'ari' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paris that I've seen before include "Abductor of Helen" , "European capital - Greek hero" , "City; Juliet's betrothed Count" , "where plaster comes from?" , "English chronicler" .)
