The Sheep Is Bylinge Two, or Is It Greek and Trojan?
Ovid has another version of helen too, doesn't yes? His version in heroidas is really interesting. There are 15 letters from heroines, women of greek myth to their absent men folk. And then there's set of three paired letters where a man shockingly writes a letter to a female character and then she writes a reply. So i'm afraid i can't tell you further details of the bylingel sheep, but i can tell you it's my favourite helen, my favourite version ofhelen wit. Nasly, you know, all these different versions of helen thatwevecome and talked about varying from homer to ptolemy.
