    I find the smiles truly emotional. I guess that's because traditional and official portraiture so rarely shows a smile or a warm expression. Seeing these people smile feels like a true gift. From the writing, research, editing, and recreations, you both do fabulous work.

    These renderings were unbelievable; they bring history to life. One quibble with the statements about Helen of Troy. The Iliad, not the Odyssey, was the retelling of the Trojan War brought about by Helen. Though Odyssey does refer to the Iliad, the story is about Odysseus and his 20 year journey to return home after becoming lost at sea.

    Helen of Troy... while she is somewhat different from what Hollywood and such would regard as "most gorgeous" today it is easy to see how a people might utterly idealize the face that you created. Beauty may be subjective, but some beauty is timeless and cuts across cultural lines.
