    Helen of Troy is simultaneously one of the most revered and most reviled characters of Greek myth. While some love her for her beauty‚ others hate her for the role she played in sparking the Trojan War. Exemplifying these two extremes are Edgar Allan Poe’s poem‚ “To Helen‚” and Hilda Doolittle’s poem‚ “Helen.” While the imagery used by Poe to describe Helen’s beauty portray an undeniable adoration‚ Doolittle’s diction starkly contrasts this with clear resentment for her wretched character. The vivid

Therefore‚ there are obvious deviations from the book such as the length of the Trojan War‚ and the absence of celestial participation in the war. There is also an absence of mortal female characters such as Chryseis‚ Hecuba‚ and Cassandra in the movie. In contrast
