Here we come to the third of the mini-series of essays for National Poetry Month. This week’s entry is on George Seferis’ poem “Helen.” There have been other poems written about Helen of Troy, of course. Probably a multitude, in praise or condemnation of “the face that launch’d a thousand ships/ And burnt the topless towers of Ilium.”
