THAT was the "face that launched a thousand ships"? Did they use her face to christen each ship instead of a champagne bottle?

I agree. Ugly broad.
She looks some poor soul's cranky mother-in-law.
May the gods have mercy on him.

The face that sank a thousand ships – probably just by looking at them.

Maybe the painter was aiming to portray her "Evil [Step] Mother," and not Helen? Perhaps the painting style would help to "soften" the "look" as well?

Not only is she ugly. It looks like she will kiss you while stabbing you in the back!:(

My! What big eyebrows you have.

She needed a plastic surgin.

The face that scrunched a thousand ships.

Helen of Troy launched a thousand ships moving *toward* her. This is the other face.

Perhaps the Bronze Age Greeks had a different idea of what constituted beauty

Or they had really terrible vision

This was prior to the discovery of corrective lens, after all

Nomenclature wrong. That's Medusa.

Terrifyingly scary!

"Launched a thousand ships…"

Well, that face was definitely smashed on the hull of at least one ship.

Ha!….
