In "Helen" by H.D., this poem expresses their hate for Helen of Troy. The once known beautiful Helen is now portrayed as the hated one in all of Greece.

lawrence's poem helen points out the negative of the war. yes this war was incredible and fought over the beauty of a woman like helen of troy, but the war also brought about tragedy and despair, and that is what lawrence is conveying.

This poem represents the hatred Greece had for Helen and the ends to which they were willing to go to get rid of her. Yet in the end once the hatred was sated they glorified her name and that she was wrongly born into a destiny she could never have percieved. Helen is human and feels as we do yet her part in what took place makes her seem almost god like in the way her story unfolds.
