a chasm opened in the earth and out of it coal-black horses sprang, drawing a chariot and driven by one who had a look of dark splendor, majestic and beautiful and terrible.
ten years of war, for the love of a woman
menelaus loved her
paris loved her
but the one who loved her most was the goddess,
she did it for helen, beautiful, wonderful, deadly helen
in helen she saw something of herself
a wild, unatainable girl
beauty of epic proportions
the one weapon left to women such as them
but oh, how well they wield it.
soldiers win battles but beauty wins wars || sba

mythology meme - paris, whose fate was stained with blood. 
who held a prophecy on his shoulders, and carried it all the way to war. ( x )
