Cup depicting Helen of Troy
Unknown Greek craftsman
Helen of Troy, to put it short, was the face that sailed a thousand ships. This cup, through thorough documentation, helped set sail a thousand ships as well, primarily at the Otis College of the Arts down in Southern California eventually leading to the firing of Peter Voulkos, a harsher fate than the aftermath of the same face’s doing in Greece. While experts cannot be sure if Helen of Troy was fully responsible for both events, a handful of them say maybe.
