Funny facts:

1. Homer never describes Helen of Troy in the Iliad. Only that she's like a goddess
2. The ancient world was more complex and diverse than what 20th Century cinema depicted. There were a lot of Ethiopian women and men across the "classical" regions e.g. Solomon's wife according to Song of Songs was very much likely Nubian.
3. Lupita Nyong'o is undoubtedly beautiful enough to plausibly be the "most beautiful woman in the world". 1/2
