Encomium of Helen

I also just wanted to post a link to a speech by Gorgias called the Encomium of Helen for all of those Illiad fanatics out there. It is basically just a famous speech written by Gorgias in defense of Helen, concluding that the Trojan War was not her fault as it was often believed in Ancient Greece.
