The War for Helen of Troy

Breathe in the ambrosia 

And the ache of last lacrimosa 

Fight in despair

Because you hate her eyes

And despise her hair

Lie in the blood

And give up righteous love

Woo with song

Because you must have her

Though you know it is wrong

Author's Note

I would have liked to include more Greek mythology.
