Added 2025-04-10 13:00:27 +0000 UTCEvery time I put on this gold bikini I'm giving my best Helen of Troy who was actually NOT A REAL PERSON! As legend has it, Helen of Troy was married to of King of Sparta (he’s also not real, but Sparta was), and, due to her beauty was taken by Paris of Troy (Paris wasn’t real, but Troy was an ancient city in modern-day Turkey).So the entire Trojan War, the topic of many a Greek tragedy, the narrative voice behind Homer’s Iliad, and Odyssey, of numerous characters and plays and mythology is ALL COMPLETELY MADE UP.Blew my mind. I was almost concerned I’d simply consumed one too many cans of High Noon as I sat in the pool reading this but nope, it’s just mythology.Sure, there are some historical events that informed these pieces of art and literature but by and large it is just simply legend. 💫
