"Irene---"
"Don't call me that."
"You were the princess Irene the first time we met."
"It means 'peace,'" Attolia said. "What name could be more inappropriate?"
"That I be named Helen?" Eddis suggested.
The hard lines in Attolia's face eased, and she smiled. Eddis was a far cry from the woman whose beauty has started a war.
-The Queen of Attolia, Megan Whalen Turner
Revisiting the Iliad made me think of this exchange with the most important Helen of my heart. One thing I love about the Queen's Thief is how MWT threaded in these sparing links to existing mythology, so that even though all the pantheons and legends are made up, the story is placed in a greater context. It makes the worldbuilding feel so huge and real even while the struggles are intimate and contained.

Sing O goddess, of Hera's rage, how they vilified her for it, even if she was a woman betrayed. Sing O goddess, of Helen's desire, how everyone forgot she was the daughter of the most powerful God and that was what made the whole world burn. Sing O goddess, of Hestia's fires, how she left the cruelty of Olympus for a peaceful life - how she gave Prometheus the idea to steal the sacred flames for the mortal world. Sing O goddess, but not of Odysseus or Menelaus, Achilles or Agamemnon. Sing instead of women full of fire. Sing us the torch song which brings wildfire when Goddesses like you are ignored.

Cómo te lo digo amor, que te pertenezco por completo. Que tus ojos son mi destino y mi razón, que no quiero en esta vida más que darte amor. Ahora todo lo que importa en este mundo tiene tu nombre y tu olor, no exagero cuando te lo cuento, eres mi luz y mi sol.

Propaganda
Natalie Wood (West Side Story, The Great Race)—She went through so much shit which I know can be said for all these women but Natalie really was a star and her death often overshadows her career and life. She could make you cry, but she also had the capacity to be incredibly funny which I think is lost on people.
Helen (Howrah Bridge, China Town, Teesri Manzil)— Helen might be stretching the definition of "star" a little bit as she was a dancer rather than a leading lady, but her Hotness is absolutely unassailable. She choreographed her own dances, designed her own costumes, overall has a mind-bogglingly wild life story, and survived it all to turn 85 in November. I ADORE her.
This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Natalie Wood:
Helen propaganda:
"Was not technically a leading lady, but played the sexy roles good girls couldn't play, before dying so the hero could marry the good girl. BOLLYWOOD ICON also survived the Japanese invasion of Burma by walking from Rangoon to Assam aged four or five but this is less related to her hotness"
