      Was the Iliad right and we should accept war as a natural part of our life?

        Helen of Troy? Oh, don’t even get me started on her! She didn’t just cause the Trojan War—that was her warm-up gig!

        The Crusades? Helen. Napoleonic Wars? Helen again. Both World Wars, the Cold War, Star Wars, Cola Wars—every single one is her fault!

        Honestly, if she’d just stopped wishing for wars, we’d all be riding unicorns and eating ice cream for breakfast by now.

        Thanks a lot, Helen.

          Unironically, i read an interpretation that said that that’s actually in the bible.

          In the world’s beginning, people lived in perfect harmony but then Eve ate the forbidden fruit and that made her fertile and they had to leave the garden because they were overpopulated. But the fruit was so sweet because it promised the seed of greatness, of imperial might and of progress. So that’s what the humanity set out to achieve through its journey.

        Versions I read tended to say she left with him willingly. Buy sure go off as if a millenia old story has a single retelling.
