Helen-Reborn: Earth's Share(s)

A Story by Abishai100
"

Mod-Earth culture sociological writer portraits an adaptation-wonder about the civilization/populations relevance of the 'mythos' of Helen of Troy for a streets-thesaurus (for doubt).

"
Helen of Troy 'diorama' story/fiction. 
DISCLAIMER: This work of myth-adaptation offers no commercial/explicit ties to any person(s)/body and is cast as purely a 'personal' expression for social art (for 'open' views/interpretation/commentary).

"Too many soldiers with envy and wrath in consciousness were engaged for the image of a woman, Helen of Troy, kidnapped for a scandalous love/affair that made two armies/sides draw swords and trickery of darkness for bloody rampage and anger management. Wow, this was all for a single lady, Helen of Troy. What would be the legacy of such human decision (Facebook-like)?"



" 'Don't provoke me, headstrong girl...Or in my immortal rage I may toss you over, Hate you as I adore you now, with a vengeance!' "(Goddess Aphrodite speaks to Helen of Troy concerning lust for Paris, in The Iliad).



"Friends, my name's Amlan Satan, and I'm a Slovak-Algerian American Homeland sociologists/writer seeking incomplete-distances readings of the 'IQ' of the legacy of the image of Helen of Troy, the face that launched (too many?) ships for a bloody-war of horses, betrayals, alliances, fury, and wonder (hmmm). I think about my mod-Earthling 21st-Century Selfie age of lifestyle/traffic/hospitality/multiculturalism language(s) for capitalism and consumerism and commerce and globalism-exchange and pluralism ethos and ideas about ambition for ornaments and beauty in a Blue-Planet of insurance-phobias (Facebook-like)."



" 'I feel ashamed that black people are both the agents and the victims of this chaos, and I don't want to be thought of like that. But I'm also ashamed of myself for thinking I'm somehow better. The shame I feel in my guts, pulsing, spiraling; but also everything feels very far away. I'm black, but my black is different from that of those rioters on TV.' (Christina Hammonds Reed on LA Riots '92).”



"Friends, my name's Amlan Satan, and I'm wondering, through writing/exposition, who maybe is the modern/(real?) Helen of Troy, for our (shared?) Earth Selfie 'culture' of incomplete-distances readings of the leviathan/uncertainty of pluralism exchanges for multiculturalism image for male-female-associations governance. Who's gonna launch ships for our streets-traffic 'jitters' of customs/peace for consumerism superstition? Would it be a policewoman controlling some Earth crowds-capitalism for negotiated American museum shielding (Facebook-like)? Maybe Helen of Troy is (somehow) a ghost, wandering around, inside the spirit of such a 21st-Century American Homeland cop (for doubt)."
