The Love That Started a Thousand Ships
Something about antiquity has always captivated me. Perhaps the drama inherent in stories that have endured for so long, the majesty of their mythology, or the way their stories combine the heavenly and the earthly. One epic tale in particular jumps out for its combination of love, treachery, and the type of beauty that might start a war. I do, in fact, refer to the fabled romance between Prince Paris and Helen of Troy. Ascending to a period when love was a battleground, literally, buckle up, my reader.
