Helen Quote by Janell Rhiannon
““Helen looked up at Paris, her face wet with tears and blotchy with grief, and nodded her consent. 'Together we are chained on rocks before the beast of Poseidon. Naked and bare and helpless.' 'But we are more fortunate.' 'How so?' Helen asked. 'We have each other as comfort in our misery.””
