Classic Meets Modern
January 11, 2009
I was going through a series of brain teasers on mythology, the one classic thing I’ve been hooked with since the Big Bang, when I came across one exciting question that led to another: “who is the mother of Helen of Troy and the Gemini twins?” I scratched my head, a bit disappointed that I failed to remember who their mother is, and asked my companion out loud if he knew about it. I was dumbfounded, a bit teary eyed and almost out of breath when he spurted, “Angelina Jolie?” innocently.
Right. I knew then that he probably didn’t know a thing about what I was asking apart from the fact that Helen is known to be the bitch who caused the war, but I didn’t expect him to say something too modern. Hahaha. I just can’t help but laugh at the idea that Angelina really has her twins, but, Helen of Troy as her daughter?? Come on.
The other question, once you get the drift of this, you’ll get right as well.
Who took Helen of Troy away, which caused the war between the Trojans and the Greeks?
Tada.
It’s Orlando Bloom, baby.
