So I started writing about how this did not fit into my idea of what Helen was like in the ancient world.

And I think when I first wrote about it, I was a bit naive about how much of that is down to the actress and the casting.

But most of it is down to the script and the director.

Yes.

A lot of fun was made of the accents, too.

They were trying to homogenize the accents.

Yes.

This is a good example of how myth is really, really fluid.

No, you can carry it.

I mean, it's not whether it's right or wrong.

It's the choices that they make.

And mythology is so fluid.

Lots of their versions.

Good point.

They vary.
