Trade Review
"Engaging."---Harry Strawson, Times Literary Supplement
"An enlightening and accessible overview of the pervasive presence of Zeus’s daughter in American popular culture, ranging from silent Hollywood cinema to televised speculative fiction . . . [and] a must read for scholars of both classical reception and popular culture."---Gabrielle Stecher, Popular Culture Studies Journal
"A smart exploration of how this mythic figure has been portrayed in film and television. [Blondell] has written a thematically bold book that entertainingly contemplates what Helen of Troy signifies in old and modern Hollywood productions."---Christopher Schobert, The Film Stage
