Helen is supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the world. But that was nine years ago. Nine years is a long time and anyone would be lying if he said he hardly aged during that time. Helen states to Priam that she has left her grown child behind in Argos, so the child must have been at least a teenager when she left. If the earliest she could have had a child is, say, fourteen, that would make Helen a nearly middle-aged woman. No doubt she'd still be beautiful, but is she the most beautiful? Or is that all irrelevant?
