Hmmm, the (alleged) men seem to be wearing more make-up than the women.

Cleopatra, was in reality a short, fat and ugly Bella Abzug as Cleo? Boggles the mind.

but I think I'd probably still do her anyway...You know, there's a name for behavior like that.
Just kidding, your post had a curious (and funny) logic about it. Go for it!

"info on the actual hotness/lack of hotness of Helen of Troy?"
Well it was said Helen had " face that launched a thousand ships" therefore if a woman was one quarter as good looking she would be rated as 250 millihelens. That is of course a relative scale, as to other exogenous measures of Helen's "hotness" I am unaware.

(Do you have any info on the actual hotness/lack ofhotness of Helen of Troy? Would be much appreciated. Thanks.)One of the ancient measurements of Troy was
the 'thousandth of a helen.' That was the
amount of face it took to launch one ship.

Not hideous. Not ugly.
Not stunning, but not ugly.
