I have repeated that multiple times she was NOT from Greece. Her home was Babylon. 😂 And there was a rule in Mauryan Empire that no queen could go back to her home.

It's not known where she lived but wherever she lived she certainly didn't go back to her home, her family abandoned her 😢 because she was a shameful trade for them even when due to poor girl her father's life was saved 😡 Seleucus loved his ego more than his daughters except Antiochus and Apama.
She lived with Bindusara. Her half sister and daughter of Seleucus and Stratonice named Phila was queen of Macedon. So a daughter of Seleucus did go to Greece but she was Phila not Helena.
Helena's only joy after Chandragupta were her children 😢 she loved her husband very much and his death broke her
After writing Greece I realized I should have written Iran/Persia. I read somewhere that after Chandragupta's sanyas she left India. Maybe it was 1 of his other wives.
