Are there any adjectives inspired by Helen's beauty?
I can see examples from more recent history like:
Boycott from Charles C. Boycott
or Bowdlerize from Thomas Bowdler.
Some Greek mythology inspired words/phrases are :
Herculean
Achilles Heel
Narcissistic
However I could not find anything that refers to Helen of Troy's beauty.If you could also talk of some other lesser known mythological figure based adjectives/phrases, kindly share.

From OED:
From Wikipedia:
That's about it. You can forget about Hellenic, which is just a synonym for Greek.
