The only thing Helen does in The Odyssey is briefly co-host a party where she cheers Telemachus up. The whole thing about launching a bunch of ships with her face, that's The Iliad.
A screenwriter could write a movie about her, I guess, but it wouldn't be The Odyssey.
The imagined reply runs through the entire arc: Helen runs off, Troy burns after ten years of war with Achilles and Ajax dead, then Odysseus spends another decade getting blown across the Mediterranean, losing every man, nearly eaten by a Cyclops, imprisoned by Calypso, and arriving home to his dead dog and a house full of suitors. The kicker is the reader's suggestion to make it more about Helen.

Instead of diary of Bridget jones it’s diary of Helen Troy? Netflix edition.
There is a song about The face that launched a thousand ships...

Sounds like a typical drive home from work on a Friday evening. 😂
Invest in stocks for Catfood, Box Wine, and Therapists. There’s going to be a lot of lonely Women in the future. As this mindset is far from rare.
Helen had a bit part at best.
Or had a little to much wine.
she was not an innocent party
Erm, not quite innocent, as she ran away with her lover, and that was verboten.
The comments on the Trailer are gold.
