  I thought that was a pretty clever idea to get the phrase "Face that launched a thousand ships" in. Very nice work. I enjoyed this one a lot.

  This would have been better if it weren't so blatant. You don't draw much in the way of meaningful parallels between the old Paris and the new. Nor do their characters seem to match. This would be a great vehicle for making some point about men, women or Hollywood, but you just seem to go through the motions.
  
  What does Juno offer? What does Athena? How do these things affect a Hollywood mogul differently than they'd affect an ancient prince?

  I disagree with the one poor review, except it might have been nice to know what the other two had offered. This sort of story almost has to hit you over the head with the obvious.
