The face that launched 1,000 ships…

…belonged, legend holds, to Helen of Troy. She was a daughter of Zeus and had a bunch of other Olympian relatives, which might have given her an edge in the polls. 

But now it's an anonymous Japanese model that may have the face that launches 1,000 movie plots. 

"[The artist] Shuhei Okawara's masks won't protect you or others against the virus. But they will lend you the exact appearance of an unidentified Japanese adult whose features have been printed onto them," Reuters reports in an article that will tickle pranksters and terrify facial recognition advocates everywhere.
