Why MilliHelens don’t Measure Beauty
The reason that Helen launched a thousand ships was nothing to do with her beauty but rather her social status. She was a princess and married to a very powerful man consequently those close to her were sufficiently powerful to force a thousand shipfulls of men to come to rescue her. If she had just been your average Joanne Bloggs from down the road she might still have got a few ships full of adolescent sexually frustrated wannabe heroes but not one thousand. After all George Bush could probably launch a thousand ships but I have yet to find someone who considers him beautiful.
MilliHelens do not measure beauty but rather a mixture of wealth, looks and social grandeur.
