“The first organized naval movement described by Homer in the Iliad! Reported that 1186 ships from various parts of Greece together with the armies of the various Greek tribes gathered at Aulis, and together we went to Troy. Homer also describes many details of both the building and for the navigation of ships

The “+527.5” is in red.

nevermind, it was 333. The 333rd ship was a link.

Also if you look beneath -667 you can faintly see up-down arrows proceeded by left-right arrows in light grey. Significance?

Source code: εισάγετε = Enter

επιβίβασης = boarding

ομορφιά ανοίγει τις πόρτες - beauty opens its doors

Beauty? is tht not aphrodite

It’s not “beauty” or any of the 3 greek translations of it I’ve found.

isn’t helen to one abducted by paris that caused the 1000 ships?

Show of hands - who else tried ‘vagina’ in Google Translate?

^^^

Helen of Troy (from the Iliad) is widely known as “the face that launched a thousand ships”. Thus, 1 milliHelen is the amount of beauty needed to launch a single ship.
According to The Rebel Angels, a 1981 novel by Robertson Davies, this system was invented by Cambridge mathematician W.A.H. Rushton. However, the term was possibly first suggested by Isaac Asimov.[21] The obvious reference is Marlowe’s lines from the 1592 play The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, “Was this the face that launched a thousand ships / And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?” [22] The word Helen is also used in the book Pretties, the second book in the series Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. In that book, the characters joke about how pretty something looks in Helens and megaHelens.
