The helen is thus used to measure quantities of beauty in terms of the theoretical action that could be accomplished by the wielder of such beauty. ==Origin== The classic reference to Helen's beauty is Marlowe's lines from the 1592 play ''The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus'', "Was this the face that launched a thousand ships / And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus'' by Christopher Marlowe - Project Gutenberg )〕 In the tradition of humorous pseudounits, then, 1 millihelen is the amount of beauty needed to launch a single ship. According to ''The Rebel Angels'', a 1981 novel by Robertson Davies, this system was invented by Cambridge mathematician W.A.H. Rushton. However, the term was possibly first suggested by Isaac Asimov.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Isaac Asimov )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helen (unit)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
