    "No one believed their pretext: that they had come to claim back some woman who had run off with one of Priam's boys. The idea was laughable. Countless ships, as many as a thousand, sailing across oceans to besiege one city for the sake of a woman?"

    I do like that right away they are criticizing the common phrasing that it was Helen's beauty, "the face that launched a thousand ships' that was the cause of the war. As that always comes across as victim-blaming to me. Especially since if you believe the 'pretext' that the war started because of Helen being taken to Troy, then the true cause is either that she was kidnapped or that her husband caused a war to forcibly take her home after she left him. Both of those motivations stem from the choices of men, not Helen.
