Where did I say he met her?

You obviously don't want to understand what I'm saying. So good day sir.

But blind people don't know light from dark, black from white, blonde from brown, or blue from green. They are visual constructs. What he pictured as beauty would have related to touch, maybe smell and taste. So his vision of Helen would have been like none other's

Wtf has him being blind got to do with anything? He wrote a story that described Helen as being blond and fair skinned. That is what everyone in the last 2000 years has read and pictured her as.

But he had no conception of what those things meant.

Also - 'xanthe' doesn't particularly translate as blonde. It can also mean brown or red

And he called her 'white armed', which simply meant she was nobility, rather than someone who worked outdoors in the fields
