Apropos of not much, the unit of beauty required to launch one ship is of course a millihelen.
Actually, I saw the programme too - very interesting. It was this:

Probably too far south, but I recently saw on TV someone visiting the ancient underground
silver mines of Laurium, somewhere near Athens.
As I would have liked to say to my school headmaster when I asked him to sign a form entering
me for a scholarship to do a course in Mining Engineering at the Royal School of Mines (being a
Classics man, he was very reluctant to do so, thinking that when working underground I would
be well on my way to Hades) "Helen might have had the "face to launch a thousand ships" but it
was the silver mines of Laurium which paid for them!
