Analysis and comments on Helen of Troy Does Countertop Dancing by Margaret Atwood
Comment 4 of 4, added on April 12th, 2006 at 5:46 PM. Read Leda and the Swan by W. B. Yeats... There are 3 or 4 references to the myth that poem describes. And I think Atwood evokes the same passion of the Yeats poem. jane from United States Comment 3 of 4, added on January 27th, 2006 at 9:08 AM. Hello everybody.
