According to Greek mythology, Helen was the most beautiful woman in the world; an army of the world's greatest heroes went to war over her, and she had a "face that launched a thousand ships."[1] On Stardate 2124.3, Trelane compared Yeoman Teresa Ross to Helen, saying, "Is this the face that launched a thousand ships, and burned the topless towers of Ilium? Fair Helen, make me immortal with a kiss,"[2] quoting from Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus.[1]
