Athena A and Sharon E by A. Voronin

They say that the great battle of Troy was fought over nothing more than a woman. Her name was Helen of Troy. Of course, there are some who claim that all wars are fought over exactly that – man’s desire to control more resources so that he can control more women. Be that as it may, in this new series, we are shown a glimpse of the kind of woman Helen might have been, and in light of the beauty of the women in these photos, Troy begins to appear like a just war.

Helen was essentially stolen from her husband, Agamemnon, by Paris, son of the King of Troy. This caused Agamemnon to launch 100 ships (the face that launched 1000 ships actually only launched 100) and head for Troy to get her back. A long and bloody war ensued, resulting in Helen’s return. During the war, however, she spent her time in Troy, and many accuse her of falling in love with her captors.

What do we see in this series that gives us, as it were, a glimpse back into the mind, times, and beauty of the great desirable Helen?

First, the sultry power and attractive appeal of Helen can be seen in these young ladies. Each gesture they give seems imbued with sensual mystery. They are keenly aware of their power to entice. There is a royalty, a mystique, a divine quality to their eyes. They seem to shine with an almost oracular grace.

Then there is the surroundings of the shoot, which seem practically authentic in their antiquity. Could these photos have actually been taken in Athens among the ruins of that great philosophic culture? It certainly appears so. The pillars are chipping away, the walls are crumbling, but there is a magnitude and majesty to the architecture that reminds us of those times.

Finally, there is the beauty of these women. Their perfect figures, their full lips, their long sensuous hair. Their garments are light and airy, hanging off them like drapes, opening up in all the right places. They seem ripe as fruits, full of spirit as a thick Grecian urn.

Looking on these lovely young woman, we feel the power of the ancient world, and especially of the great Helen of Troy. Ask yourself this – Would you let some guy run off with your wife without a fight if she looked like this?
