From milli-, meaning one thousanth and Helen, the name of a [beautiful woman] from classic literature. Unit for measuring beauty. One millihelen is the ammount of beauty that will launch exactly one ship. Backround information: In the epic poem "The Illiad" by Homer, Helen of Troy is considered the most [beautiful woman]. Her beauty was the cause the Trojan war, because a man named Paris declaired her [the most beautiful], and not one of the godesses. Because her beauty caused many men to go to war (in a society that revolved around the sea and boats), it can be said that her face was so beautiful it launched one thousand ships. So, one milli-Helen would be one thousanth of a Helen, or enough to launch one ship. Alternate spelling: millihelen
