A Thousand Ships Inspired by Helen of Troy whose beauty was legendary in her time, and until this day! ... In Christopher Marlowe's *Doctor Faustus* (1604), Faust conjures the shade of Helen. Upon seeing Helen, Faustus speaks the famous line: "Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships, / And burnt the topless towers of Ilium." (Act V, Scene I.)
