Helen of Troy is a fictional character based loosely on a historical event passed down by word for generations.

Such an absurd criticism to launch at the new Odyssey movie.
Does 'British' mean 'Historical' then? And which British accent? There are hundreds? Oh, you mean 'Actor' don't you, that 'accent'...
