Reading Sheppard’s use of Helen alongside Gorgias’ Encomium or Euripides’ Trojan Women, for instance, would generate really interesting discussion. She makes repeated excuses for his behavior, deciding that he's a terrible person because he had a rough childhood, and she knows he's got a good heart. went through a site redesign and, since then Queernunnos (Herbert) is no longer listed on the supporting cast page.
