She looks like how Homer describes her

Yeah, where exactly?

Helen appears only a handful of times in the epic (Iliad), and Homer never provides precise physical details. The most concrete attributes he assigns are formulaic epic epithets, such as “white-armed” (λευκώλενος) and “lovely-haired.” These phrases convey general qualities—grace, status, and beauty—without specifying facial features or body type. In Homeric Greek, “white-armed” implies more than pale skin; it signals a woman of high status, one untouched by manual labor, embodying leisure and refinement.

So now you wanna distract from your previous statement? I ask again, where is Homer describing her in a way that looks exactly like that random actress?

That random actress looks way closer to what Homer describes her than a sub saharan African. Are you that dense?
