OK. So Helen’s beauty sparks a war.
Athena is a strategic goddess guiding Odysseus.
Penelope embodies clever loyalty.
Circe turns men into pigs, which frankly is still the most realistic female character arc in literature.
Calypso traps the hero on an island for seven years.
Cassandra can literally see the future but nobody listens, making her the first woman in recorded history to experience a meeting.
The Sirens weaponize music.
Nausicaa saves Odysseus when he washes up naked and useless.
Andromache gives one of the most devastating anti-war speeches in the Iliad.
Hecuba is basically the emotional wreckage of empire in human form.
Aphrodite starts half the problems in Western civilization by being hot and petty.
Hera is running divine opposition research.
Thetis gets Zeus involved because Achilles is having a workplace dispute.
But apart from Helen, Athena, Penelope, Circe, Calypso, Cassandra, the Sirens, Nausicaa, Andromache, Hecuba, Aphrodite, Hera, and Thetis...
WHAT HAS HOMER EVER DONE TO GIVE FEMALE CHARACTERS ATTENTION?
I'd say she's never read any of it.

This steaming pile of drek is evidence that HollyWeed is trying to destroy the motion picture industry. You can't make a worse offering no matter how hard you try.
I lived in Greece for over 5 years in my long-ago daze of yute and I can tell you from personal experience, there are hundreds of thousands of young, incredibly beautiful Greek women who speak fluent English (with an incredible accent) who could have played Helen. The self-entitled Sasquatch that the woke jackass chose proves that Whoreywood is in its death throes. Good riddance to the entire industry of pedophiles and anti-American assholes.
