Who rescued Helen when she was kidnapped ny theseus?
Theseus kidnapped Helen when she was around the age of 12-14 (it varies) because he and his friend Pirithous wanted to marry daughters of Zeus. They casted lots and Theseus got Helen while Pirithous got Persephone. When Theseus went with Pirithous to Hades to kidnap Persephone, Helen's elder brothers Castor and Polydueces (or Pollux) came after their sister. They went to Athens first, but soon found out that she was with Theseus' mother Aethra. They threatened war if she wasn't returned, and since Theseus was gone, there wasn't really anything to stop them from retrieving their sister. When she returned, she was sought after by many suitors. Menelaus won her hand and they were married. It wasn't until after that that Paris kidnapped her. Whether or not Helen was kidnapped by Paris or went willingly with him is never clarified in the Iliad and other sources have varying ideas surrounding this. (I added the Paris information, because the previous answer for this question said that Helen was only kidnapped by Paris, and wasn't really kidnapped since she went willingly..)

Theseus was the greatest hero of Athens. When king Aegeus of Athens wanted children he went to Delphi to consult the oracle about it, but did not understand the answer.

She had been seduced by Poseidon the same night, and the child, Theseus, she had was therefore considered both Aegeus and Poseidon's son.
Why did Skyros push Theseus off the cliff?
Skyros didn't push Theseus off the cliff. Skyros is a monster, so he forces passerby to kneel to wash his feet. When the person kneels, he kicks him off the cliff into the sea, where his flesh-eating pet turtle is waiting to eat said person. Theseus, on his way to Athens, punished Skyros for his sin by doing exactly what Skyros did to others: Theseus threw Skyros off the cliff where the turtle ate his master. Then Theseus went on his merry way.

Was Persephone beautiful?
Zeus had only two daughters: Persephone and Helen. Both were considered to be so beautiful that Theseus and his friend Perithoos decided they wanted to kidnap them. That didn't work so well for Perithoos because he became trapped in the underworld and Theseus had to go bail him out. Actually Pirithous and Theseus went together into the underworld to kidnap Persephone and were entrapped there. It was Hercules that rescued Theseus but Pirithous was condemned to stay in the underworld forever. And Zeus had other daughters: Athena, Artemis, and the Muses. Honestly, if you were the daughter of the chief Olympian, wouldn't you be a knock-out?
