On my thirteenth birthday my parents bequeathed unto me a leather-bound and richly illustrated book, The Collection of Greek Sagas. Since that time in my childhood, I have been fascinated by the story of Helen and the Trojan War, dreaming of escaping to the historical site of Troy, located in Turkey by the sea. Imagine, a woman with a face so beautiful, that 'she launched a thousand ships,' when she was abducted by Paris and taken to Troy.
