Helen Comments

Helen brings Homer's Iliad to life for readers who are not familiar with Greek mythology. Nicely penned, Hilda. : -)

Reminds me of a Scottish lady named Helen..

Greece sees, unmoved, God's daughter, born of love, the beauty of cool feet and slenderest knees, very fine poem

Helen of Troy......Her beauty is a tragedy. Wonderful poem

The deep sentiments of hatred about Helen in the minds of future generations in Greece marvelously described.

could love indeed the maid, only if she were laid, THIS IS UNIVERSALLY APPLICABLE FOR ALL KINDLY SEE COMPASSIONATELY AND SEXILY BE IT GREECE OR WHEN LAID IN PEACE

Interesting poem. It is intriguing to think how people view their past history and see the perspective change from generation to generation.

Greece sees, unmoved, God's daughter, born of love, the beauty of cool feet and slenderest knees, ....touching expression. Beautiful poem.Thanks for sharing.

All Greece reviles the wan face when she smiles, hating it deeper still when it grows wan and white, remembering past enchantments and past ills.

Greece sees, unmoved, God's daughter, born of love, the beauty of cool feet and slenderest knees, could love indeed the maid, only if she were laid, white ash amid funereal cypresses.

Helen of Troy would be a target of much disgust and hatred... her beauty was the source of tragedy for many families.

An interesting poem Hilda. Enjoyed Alan

Well depicted poem with nice penmanship.

Words of wisdom kindle thoughts on love and beauty that are true and lasting ever!

Such a great write by Hilda Doittle👍👍👍

Simply superb narration of emotions of Greece towards Helen of troy.

A very beautiful poem inspired by Helen of Troy I guess. There will only be peace when she is gone but is this really better? It's very sad and touching!
