Troy. The Passion of Helen

Description

This documentary from Clash of the Gods explores the 3,000-year-old story of the woman at the heart of the Trojan War. The Greek poet Homer told the tale in The Iliad and The Odyssey, and Hollywood has presented its own versions. Now, we examine the myth of Helen. Conceived from the god Zeus' rape of her mother, she is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world and desired by every man. Modern writers including Camille Paglia and Arianna Huffington give their own unique perspective on Helen.
