Help[Facts] Re: Meaning of my name
in reply to a message by PriaposLovs
Ah, Troy on the Plain of Ilium. Despite decades of immersion in Schliemann and Iliad translations (well, at least sporadically), the thing I remember most vividly relating to Troy was taught to me by an Army instructor in a basic class on understanding the nomenclature of electrical measurements.
He said if Helen of Troy had enough beauty to launch a thousand ships, then the basic unit of beauty was a millihelen, enough to launch one ship. Gawd, the things that stick with us...
No crap, it's really Gaelic?
