Helen of Troy in Mycenae A Girl’s Un-Homeric Tale
The narrator recalls Helen a striking Mycenae girl aged 14 to 16 who embodies a living sculpture ideal. German archaeologists foster her Homeric image, while a stern Harvey warns that archaeology is work and illusion. Helen’s father’s inn, a grave robber, and rival Schlumbacher shape her mythic status as the city of Agamemnon looms above. She and Harvey walk toward the Acropolis as she speaks in ancient Greek, foreshadowing a decisive tale about Helen.
