You are Helen, the face that launched a thousand ships. After running away with Paris, you realized the error of your ways, and returned home to Sparta with your husband Menelaus (no matter what they showed in the film Troy - just ignore that). You think it’s so sweet that he waged a war for you!
You’ve had your fun, after all. Paris was a lover, not a fighter, and you two certainly didn’t fight. And there was that bath you gave Odysseus when he snuck through the walls of Troy in disguise. It’s probably not a story you should tell his son, but you just couldn’t help yourself. Telemachus IS taking after his old man, isn’t he? The red-gold hair, the arrogant air. You’ll ask him if he wants you to wash the sand of Pylos off his feet.
You can’t help it if men love you. They always have - they always will. Two thousand years from now, someone will name a line of beauty products after you.
